Discover Jessica’s career journey in imaging at Northwell Health

Meet Jessica Latorre, an ultrasound technologist at Northwell Health Reichert Family Imaging in Huntington. Jessica’s career at Northwell began in 2014 during her clinical rotation as a radiologic technologist intern at Huntington Hospital. As a student, she was always interested in working at Northwell because of our reputation as one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the region. Read how she is always striving to improve her skills and provide the best care possible at Northwell Health.

In June 2014, Jessica secured a per diem role at the same hospital as an ultrasound technologist. She worked with our imaging team at Huntington Hospital for another year before an imaging services job opened at one of our partner sites in Huntington. Jessica was excited about the prospect of continuing to serve her local community and expand her career within Northwell. In June of 2015, she took the next step in her career as a full-time ultrasound technologist at Northwell’s Reichert Family Imaging Center at Huntington.

Jessica looks forward to coming to work each day alongside colleagues who feel like family. Her passion as an ultrasound technologist is driven by caring for patients during some of the most important moments of their lives. “Whether it’s providing answers, offering reassurance, or supporting physicians with high-quality imaging, I know that the work I do makes a meaningful difference every day,” shared Jessica.

As an ultrasound technologist for over 10 years at Northwell, Jessica feels supported by her colleagues, mentors and leadership team. “I am always encouraged to continue learning, expand my skills, and take advantage of opportunities for professional development.” To maintain continued growth and efficiency in her role, Jessica is required to keep her Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits to maintain her license. Northwell’s Office of Continuing Medical Education (CME) is committed to offering quality education to healthcare professionals through a variety of courses. Jessica has been able to leverage this internal resource to access mandatory quarterly tests and educational classes more easily, as there are always new strategies to increase her skills as an ultrasound technologist.

Looking back on her career path, Jessica feels a true sense of accomplishment. “From being a student with aspirations, to working at a leading healthcare organization like Northwell, it has been a rewarding journey,” she concluded.  “I’m proud to work at Northwell, where my commitment to provide the best care to our patients is possible.”
