Meet Dee Olson

Director of Medical Imaging

Dee Olson is one of St. Joseph's home grown employees. A native of LaFarge, she earned her degree at WWTC in Radiography, attending school on a scholarship provided by St. Joseph's. After graduating nine years ago, she joined the staff as a technician and now manages the department. During that time she has also completed advanced registries in mammography and cat scans. Dee says her department has changed over to a digital system of x-rays and just acquired a new scanner.

Her staff includes three full-time technicians and two "pool" employees who can be called for emergencies and to fill-in for vacationers.

Dee is a working supervisor, handling her share of mammograms, cat scans and regular x-rays. In addition the hospital also has visiting services for MRI's, ultra-sounds, nuclear medicine and bone densitometry.

"It is a great place to work, " says Dee, "we all work as a team."
