For Rahim Wright, MLS(ASCP)CM, the groundbreaking decision to pursue a career as a lead medical laboratory scientist in blood bank came from a seed his mother, Deborah, planted when he was in elementary school. Although Deborah didn’t try to influence Rahim’s career path, she was impressed with how invested he was in doing well and understanding the results at the science fair. “My mom was able to secure a donation of agar plates, and I designed an experiment to swab various surfaces around the school to determine which area harbored the most bacteria.” He was surprised to learn that “the principal’s doorknob showed more bacterial growth than even the urinal flush handle!” Read more on their adjacent paths here: bit.ly/4tb42WS #RootsAndRoutes #CriticalValues #StrongerTogether

Watching her mother, Ann Long Jackson, MD, work full-time as one of the few women physicians in her small town was an experience that Dr. Jackson never forgot. “She would pick me up from preschool and bring me to her grossing lab. I would sit on a stool next to her and help by opening the contents of the plastic specimen bags and placing a requisition form next to them.“ Now, she carries her mother’s legacy with her every day.
