Honoring our Ophthalmic Technicians during Allied Health Professions Week

Kellogg would like to honor its ophthalmic technicians during Allied Health Professions Week, Nov. 5-11. The celebration is in honor of health care providers – like our technicians – who work in more than 200 unique allied health professions. Allied health professionals are an integral part of the entire health system. Their job is to support, facilitate, and complement the roles of physicians and other health care specialists.

Here at Kellogg – in our Ann Arbor office as well as our eight satellite offices – there are more than 50 allied health professionals who support our doctors and care for our patients every day. For more information on becoming an ophthalmic technician at Kellogg, click here.
