Lab techs keep Holloman healthy
HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. — Airman 1st Class Devin Adrian, 49th Medical Support Squadron laboratory technician, checks for a vein on an Airman’s arm before he draws blood April 25 at the medical laboratory clinic. In the lab each Airman manages a section – shipping, chemistry, hematology, and the front desk. The Airmen rotate through each section to be knowledgeable on everything. The medical laboratory mission is to take samples of biological materials and then assess the cells to gather the results doctors need to make diagnoses of their patients.
