Ms. Katie DeLaGrange has spent more than half her life working in the healthcare field, starting her career in the laboratory as a phlebotomist where Scottsdale Healthcare patient care always came first. After a brief time, Ms. DeLaGrange moved to the surgical pathology department, where she saw how her job affected patients and their outcomes.
An opportunity arose, beginning an adventure with Banner Thunderbird Laboratory, where she worked as a phlebotomist trainer, specimen processor, administrative assistant, and in laboratory quality control.
Ms. DeLaGrange has worked in hospital inpatient, hospital outpatient, surgical pathology, mental health, trauma, and now in clinical research for HonorHealth Research Institute.
