Salary: $48.45–$72.74/hour. Hiring rate depends on education, experience, training, collective bargaining agreement, seniority, and other factors.

At PeaceHealth, every moment of care is an opportunity to bring healing, hope, and comfort. In the Cath Lab, your expertise helps restore someone’s heart—and your compassion helps restore their peace. You’ll make a meaningful difference for patients and families during some of their most vulnerable moments and you’ll do it alongside a team that shares your commitment to caring for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.

Join a collaborative, mission‑driven team at PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center, where you’ll play a key role in diagnosing and treating complex cardiac and vascular conditions. This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled CVT or Radiologic Technologist looking for strong work‑life balance without sacrificing career growth.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Nearly full‑time schedule: Seven 10‑hour shifts per pay period (0700–1730) with shared call rotation.
• Full benefits as a part‑time caregiver, including low‑cost medical/dental/vision, generous PTO, retirement contributions, mental health support and employer‑paid life and disability insurance.
• Support for your growth: Tuition assistance, continuing education reimbursement, and opportunities to deepen your skills in an environment that encourages learning, collaboration, and compassionate service.
• A respected employer: PeaceHealth was named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces (Newsweek, 2023–2024) and one of Becker’s Top Places to Work in Healthcare.
• A collaborative team environment where your expertise is valued and your voice matters.

What You’ll Do

• Assist physicians with all invasive cardiac and vascular procedures.
• Scrub, monitor, and circulate during cases (including contrast injections if applicable).
• Perform related imaging techniques to support safe and accurate catheter placement.
• Prepare and maintain a sterile field.
• Operate and maintain specialized Cath Lab equipment.
• Provide exceptional pre‑ and post‑procedure patient care.

• PCI, including atherectomy, lithotripsy, and laser
• Mechanical circulatory support (IABP, Impella)
• CTO interventions
• Embolization procedures
