Lab Professional
For many patients, the laboratory is a uniquely personal part of their visit. It’s a chair, a tourniquet, and a few minutes with someone who’s either going to put you at ease — or not. Our team knows that difference is the whole job.
They also know what happens after you leave the chair. Checking an armband for the two-hundredth time that day with the same care they gave the first. Repeating a result that didn’t look right. Catching the value that doesn’t fit the patient. Redrawing a specimen because “close enough” isn’t a standard we keep.
Nearly 70% of medical decisions start with a lab result. Which means before a diagnosis is made, before treatment begins, before a family gets an answer, someone in our lab got it right and treated the patient well while doing it.
We’re hiring a lab professional. Here’s who thrives here:
🔬 People who are good with patients first — the nervous six-year-old, the 90-year-old with paper-thin veins, the oncology patient who’s been stuck a hundred times. Confidence without roughness.
🔬 People who stay alert inside routine work — who notice the one result out of a thousand that doesn’t belong.
🔬 People who can carry what they know. In a community this size, you’ll draw neighbors, classmates’ parents, folks from your own pew. Discretion isn’t a policy here. It’s character.
If that sounds like you, we’d like to talk.
We’re hiring an MLT, MLS/MT or Lab Assistant. Starting pay commensurate with experience and certifications. We are happy to train the right candidate. Apply Now.
ER Nurse
Make a real difference in a community! ER Nursing at SCMH means:
- Broad skills in a fast-paced environment

- Where standards of care are the highest

We are hiring two full-time ER nurses to work three 12-hour shifts with every third weekend rotation. ACLS, PALS, TNCC, and BLS required. Why the openings? Retirement and internal career change. Love where you work with us and we help you grow! Apply Now.

Food & Beverage – Sous Chef
I am looking for a Rock Star Sous Chef to help me with my career capstone project!
There is no ideal candidate for this job. A good candidate could have a culinary degree or be a graduate from the school of hard knocks. I am both myself. In either case, you should be able to present a decent pedigree in the form of a resume. Experience in healthcare food and beverage might be a plus, but it is not necessary.
I need an individual with solid experience who will immediately know what I am talking about and be able to add something of value to the conversation. I am imagining that this person will have 10+ years of hands-on experience in high-volume kitchens, some of it in supervisory positions. You’ll need to have a keen understanding of logistics and mis en place. If you are unaware of what mis en place is, you are not my Sous Chef. I am looking for a person with a good work ethic who manages from the front, leading by example, as I do. We all do dishes in my kitchen! If you are too good to get dirty with the rest of us, please move on to another job opportunity! Experience in the front of the house would be good. Our kitchen is open, and we are all ambassadors for the facility.
I am looking for a Sous Chef with enough hands-on kitchen experience to be an asset everywhere in the kitchen immediately. I need someone who is confident but not arrogant. I didn’t draw outside of the box on this one; I threw the box away and made a new one, so you must be willing to try something that hasn’t ever been tried before and not be afraid to fail, get up, dust off, and try again a different way. That is what I and my team do every day! I don’t intimidate easily, so I’m looking for someone who may do certain things better than I do! I am all about the strength of the team! Come and make my team stronger! You must have that understanding and be able to get everything you can out of whatever assets we have at our disposal. I need a Sous that can be one of those assets on the first day of work!
Again, there is no ideal candidate for this job. If you are in what you think is a dead-end job flipping veggie burgers in a large healthcare facility somewhere and you know you can do more, then come join us and be relevant!
Smith County Memorial Hospital is dedicated to fully supporting your development as a professional. You can make this opportunity what you want it to be. We will train you to become a Certified Dietary Manager if you lack healthcare experience. I have precepted three CDMs that are presently working in the kitchen, and I am precepting two more right now that will sit the national board in a few months.
My expectations for this applicant are very high. If you are the Rock Star I am looking for, please apply! Apply Now
