Phlebotomy program begins small but has large aspirations
Penta Career Center’s newest program may be starting out small, but it has big aspirations.
This school year, the district in conjunction with Springfield Local Schools, introduced phlebotomy.
The seniors-only program is offered at Springfield’s administrative and education complex in Holland, and is open to seniors in any of Penta’s 16member school districts.
