Control X-ray Technologist Jason has been honored with the North Oaks Health System Employee of the Month Award for July 2019.
Jason joined the Diagnostics team in 1998 as a Radiology Assistant. He became a Control X-ray Technologist on the night shift in 2000. He moved to days in 2003.
"Lifting patients' spirits and helping them feel better is rewarding to me," shares Jason.
His interest in Radiologic Technology as a career was sparked by an X-ray Tech, who helped care for his father after a motor vehicle crash.
“The tech brought me in and let me watch him position my dad for the X-rays and run the film,” Jason explains. “This really peaked my interest in the field.”
He earned an associate degree in Biology from Southwest Mississippi Community College in Summit, where he played baseball for the Bears. He went on to graduate from North Oaks School of Radiologic Technology. Jason also attended Southeastern Louisiana University, where he was a General Studies student concentrating in Biology.
Jason lives in Franklinton with his wife Sharon and their sons – Cade, 13; and Jaden, 10.
Jason’s time away from work is spent with his family and coaching his sons in baseball and soccer. Fishing, hunting and mowing a lot of grass are his other outdoors pursuits. He’s also got a great Donald Duck impression and juggles!
