Meet Michaelle Warner, CNMT and RSO! 🏥

For over 20 years, Michaelle has been a trusted part of our Nuclear Medicine department, bringing compassionate care and expertise to our friends, families, and neighbors in Ray County.

Michaelle's journey into nuclear medicine began when her sister, a Registered Nurse working in cardiology, introduced her to the field. "I followed the Nuclear Medicine Tech around and was hooked," Michaelle shares. "Nuclear Medicine is such a fascinating field, and I love how diverse it is—there are tests to check out the functioning of lungs, hearts, kidneys, bones, GI, and so much more."

As both a Certified Nuclear Medicine Technologist (CNMT) and Radiation Safety Officer (RSO), Michaelle ensures every procedure is performed with the highest standards of care and safety. But what truly sets her apart is her dedication to patient comfort.

"I have a passion for helping people," Michaelle explains. "I realize some people may be nervous about having a test, so I take my time to explain the procedure and what to expect. I do my best to make sure they are as comfortable as possible. I believe you can get a high-quality exam AND make the patient feel listened to and comfortable!"

Michaelle's appreciation for Ray Healthcare runs deep: "RCHH is a great community of people who are willing to help each other out. With the diversity of tests, I can be in outpatient clinic, inpatient, radiology, surgery, or the ED, and there is ALWAYS someone willing to help. I'm so appreciative of the caring nature of this hospital."

Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing more about our Nuclear Medicine services and how this advanced imaging technology helps diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions—right here close to home.

Have questions about nuclear medicine? Michaelle and our team are here to help. Call our centralized scheduler at 816-470-5432, Ext. 121.

November is National Family Caregivers Month, and we want to recognize everyone in our community who quietly takes care of the people they love. ❤️

Maybe you're helping your mom remember her medications. Maybe you're driving your dad to appointments, managing his meals, and making sure he's safe. Maybe you're caring for a spouse, a child, a friend, or a neighbor who needs you. Whatever your situation looks like, we see you.

Caregiving is hard. It's love in action, but it's also exhausting. Some days you're running on empty, wondering if you're doing enough, wishing someone would ask how you're doing for once.

Here's what we want you to know: You're doing an incredible job, even on the days when it doesn't feel like it. And it's okay to need help. It's okay to be tired. It's okay to ask for support.

Yesterday, we had the privilege of honoring the incredible teamwork that saved the life of an 8-week-old girl who went into cardiac arrest at home in August.
Thanks to the quick actions of Ray County 9-1-1, Richmond Police Department, Richmond Fire Department, Ray County Ambulance District, and Ray County Hospital, along with our LifeFlight Eagle crew, she’s alive today. And it was extra special to have the young survivor and her aunt join us for the celebration!
This powerful story is a reminder that every second counts and that knowing CPR can truly save a life.
We are deeply grateful for these dedicated professionals and the amazing community they serve.
