CARROLLTON, TX, January 2, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sandra Schwedler, Retired Medical Technologist for Carter BloodCare, has been recognized by Cambridge Who's Who for showing dedication, leadership and excellence in all aspects of medical technology.

A registered medical technologist, Ms. Schwedler has 40 years of professional experience in the healthcare industry. She spent 15 years at Carter BloodCare, during which time she was involved in donor testing, setting up quality control on new machines, transmitting test results and reviewing tests in the blood center. She also worked with the computer department, assisted pathologists and tracked down units that needed to be checked. Ms. Schwedler raises show-quality collies and has had 16 champions. Her collie won second place last year out of all the rough collie participants in the United States.
