Nov 30, 2022

The week of December 5 will shine a spotlight on Endoscopy Technicians and the work they do for early prevention and detection of colorectal cancer.

These dedicated individuals are an essential part of the health care team and provide quality care to patients that saves numerous lives. Thanks to Education Coordinator Ms. Junabelle A. Gamble, MSN, BSN, of Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center, this acknowledgment is officially recognized by the State of Texas and signed by Governor Greg Abbott.

Houston Community College's Endoscopy Technician program is the only certification-award program in the state of Texas and the third of its kind in the nation. HCC Coleman graduated its first batch of endoscopy technicians this year. Visit hccs.edu/endoscopy or email melissa.bruton@hccs.edu to learn more.
