Five Things on an Ultrasound Provider’s Christmas List
It’s that time of year, and we at BB Imaging have been busy putting the final touches on our Christmas list. The best part? There’s some stuff for you on it. All we want this holiday season is...
To meet our mission
As a team, we’re working to improve health outcomes by making high-quality ultrasound services accessible to everyone. This mission has defined us since Day One, and it tops our wish list because we remain totally committed to it. Right now, we’re pursuing this goal in two ways: onsite ultrasound services and telesonography®.
We started with our onsite services 18 years ago, and they’re still going strong. Our dependable and highly credentialed sonographers work with provider partners across the United States to provide access to a variety of ultrasound modalities. Our partners have found us to be helpful, reliable, and trustworthy, which has given us a great reputation in the industry.
Just this year, we launched our new telesonography service, TeleScan®. It’s a secure software that connects providers and their patients with remote sonographers. This solution came about because we kept seeing the need to reach patients who can’t access bedside ultrasound care. More than 50 of our sonographers helped to develop this innovative product, and now it’s seen more than 1,000 patients.
The best thing about this wish list item is that we’re not just wishing for it... we’re working toward it every day!
To keep learning
Our team is dedicated to excellence. We desire to be the best at what we do, so continuing to add to our knowledge and accomplishments is a wish that is near and dear to our hearts.
We’re not seeking accomplishment for only ourselves though. We’re also hoping to elevate others and gladly share what we know with you through our webinars, newsletter, and blog posts. If you’ve missed any of our webinars, be sure to check out the ones below and take the quiz to earn your free CMEs!
We hope you’ll take advantage of these free resources and let us know if there’s another topic you’d like to hear about.
To make more friends
Our team members tend to form close-knit communities—and we love it that way! That’s why our third wish is to keep that going by adding folks to our team. All across the country, we need more people to help us meet the demand for ultrasound services.
By the way... we’re not a staffing agency (but we get that a lot). You will be on OUR team and that comes with some sweet benefits that are specifically designed to meet the needs of clinical workers:
Monthly wellness benefit: We provide a monthly stipend for you to spend on whatever makes you feel well—massages, gym memberships, yoga classes, etc.
PTO on your birthday: We all need to feel loved and celebrated, and our gift to you is a full day of PTO to use on or around your birthday.
The schedule you want: Wanna travel? We have roles for that. Looking for regular work hours? We have roles that are never on-call and get weekends off.
If you like those benefits, you can see the rest by viewing our job listings.
If you’re not interested in a new job, we hope you’ll be our friend on social media. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to get a peek into our culture, stay updated, and participate in giveaways.
To celebrate more sonographers
Our team members are some of the biggest fans, advocates, and champions of the sonography community, and we hope to see even more sonographers in the spotlight.
That’s why we created the Excellence in Sonography Awards—a free, annual award program that honors sonography community members who elevate the industry and inspire others through their excellence and passion. We now have two classes of winners (from 2022 and 2023), and we’re looking for more next year!
We also host our internal STAR awards every year, just for our team members. Keep an eye out on social media—we’ll be posting the winners this month!
To add something new to the trophy case
Our final wish is to earn a shiny new acknowledgement next year.
This year we were honored as one of the fastest-growing companies, both in Inc.’s Southwest Region and nationally on the Inc. 5000 list. We also won a Silver Stevie in the American Business Awards and were honored with a writeup on their website.
Our Cofounder and CEO, Blanca Lesmes, also bagged a couple of high-profile awards, including Inc. Female Founders and a Woman’s Way Business Award.
And just last week, TeleScan won the Technology Innovation category in the Fierce Healthcare Innovation Awards, which identify and showcase innovation that is improving and transforming the industry.
These are the things on our Christmas list, but what about you? What do you hope the holidays and new year will bring for you?
