The Flagler County Commission and Bunnell City Commission proclaimed Feb. 9-13 as Phlebotomists Recognition Week. Palm Coast is scheduled to also issue a proclamation at its 9 a.m. Feb. 17 meeting.
The proclamations recognize the essential role phlebotomists play in healthcare, performing skilled blood collection procedures critical to diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease.
Amelia Drew, a student in the Salus Medical Training Phlebotomy Certification Program, was recognized at Bunnell's proclamation. Drew already secured three job interviews prior to completing the program, highlighting the strong workforce demand for trained phlebotomy professionals.
“These proclamations reflect workforce development, healthcare excellence and the dedication of students stepping into meaningful careers serving our community,” Salus Medical Training owner Lauren Ramirez said.
Since launching its programs, Salus Medical Training has certified 47 phlebotomy technicians and over 70 medical assistants, maintaining a 100% certification exam pass rate across both programs.
