Kittitas Valley Healthcare expects all employees to uphold our Vision & Mission. The KVH Vision, Mission & Guiding Principles can be found at this link.

KVH puts ‘employee care’ high on the priority list, with health benefits like low-cost medical, dental, and vision insurance and a robust employee wellness program. KVH offers company contributions toward your choice of medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage, including coverage available for spouses/domestic partners and dependent children. KVH believes that continuing education is critical to our mission and vision. We have implemented many educational programs such as the Medical Assistant Apprenticeship program and certification pay to encourage continuing education. We want our employees to know they are valued. One of the ways we show this is by quickly vesting employees, making them pension eligible after just one year of part-time status. To view more details about the comprehensive benefits package we offer to eligible employees, visit our website.

The global responsibility of this position and all positions within the department of Imaging Services is to provide quality diagnostic images, comfort, and care for patients and employees at KVH. As a part of this, all employees are responsible for seeking ways to provide input to continuously improve our operation and procedures. The sonographer is responsible for reviewing orders for appropriateness, verification of physician orders, and performance of the procedure in a safe, caring and timely manner. In addition, the sonographer must consistently produce quality images and reports for the radiologist to interpret and report to the requesting physician. He/she must maintain a high level of professional expertise and assume responsibility for professional growth and development. The art and practice of sonography requires in-depth knowledge of human growth, human anatomy and physiology, proper anatomical positioning, normal and abnormal pathology and physiological responses, disabilities, manifestations of diseases and trauma, and the ability to interact with the patient in a professional and kind manner.
