Funds are being sought to start a medical technology program in Southern Illinois, but it remains in the planning stage with no firm approval or kickoff date yet.
Dr. Alden Thompson of Herrin Hospital says a formal medical technician training program is ready but lacks $80,000 in funding. The 1974 VA grant to SICCM financed allied health curricula, yet with grant expiry in June there is no state budget money for the medical technician program. Thompson leads a letter campaign to lawmakers without replies from the governor or legislators.
Thompson and others urge creation of a hospital lab technician program in Southern Illinois arguing it will improve training, reduce turnover, and support lab work across hospitals. They propose funding via state education and seek local support, with hospitals potentially donating equipment and supplies.
