A family connection + love of children
Stephanie Jefferson started her 28-year healthcare career working as a CNA, and after some time in the role, she wanted to progress in her career. In 2000, she went back to school to get her phlebotomist license to collect blood samples for tests and transfusions.
Her love of children led her to Children’s, where she’s able to support the sweetest pediatric patients.
“It’s a great place to work. I enjoy working with the people, I enjoy working with the children and it’s been a great experience for me.”

When Stephanie’s daughter Dianna was deciding where to work, she knew Children’s of Alabama would be a great option because of how much her mother loves it.
At Children’s, each employee is welcome and valued—whether it’s through monthly awards like the Daisy Award and Impact Award or just supportive words from teammates.

Behind-the-scenes warriors—the Children’s of Alabama lab
The family connection isn’t the only reason Dianna chose Alabama’s only freestanding pediatric hospital, though. The lab is always open, so Dianna is able to make a flexible schedule that fits with her classes.
“A lab is a good place for you to learn the basics and what’s really going on with the patient. You can figure out most things about the patient from their bloodwork.”

At Children’s, lab techs and assistants work behind the scenes to keep children happy and healthy. Not sure what a lab technician does? They gather data and perform tests to check patients’ blood, perform electrocardiograms (EKGs) and more.

At the end of the day, each Children’s of Alabama employee has the same goal in mind—giving children the best care possible.
“Everybody tries to help each other out. It’s just a really family-oriented type of environment.”
