Heather Gunter – Pocatello
I work at the Pocatello Children’s Clinic and have been there for 21 years. I graduated from Idaho State University and then started my career in Microbiology at Bannock Regional Medical Center (now Portneuf Medical Center). I then moved to Boise and worked at St. Luke’s downtown as a generalist and in hematology. We moved back to Pocatello after a few years, we missed being away from family, and have been here ever since. I took over as the lab manager of a physician’s office lab (12 providers) at the Pocatello Children’s Clinic. Over the years we have grown and our lab now has 2.5 employees and I am in administration. I oversee all clinical aspects of our office including the laboratory, x-ray, nursing, care coordination, and all of our student rotations (medical assisting, LPN, MLS, medical students, and residents). I wear many hats and have enjoyed learning about all the aspects of healthcare outside the laboratory. I have worn almost every hat with ASCLS Idaho over the years, including a previous stint as President. I would love to encourage newcomers to get involved and take the reigns!
I love spending time in the outdoors and with my family (2 adult children and my husband of 30 years) camping, hiking, skiing, and everything in between.
