Home MATT THOMPSON, RT(R)(CT)(MR), is no stranger to the area. A Centerville resident for the past seven years, Matt is embracing his new role as Medical Imaging Supervisor with Mercy– Centerville. "I jumped at the opportunity to serve patients in my hometown," Matt says. "I love seeing friends, family members and churchgoers from the community." Matt's career has come full circle. Twelve years ago, he spent six months working alongside our staff as a radiology student. Today, Matt works with many of the same team members he first met when he was in school. By chance or divine providence, Matt has taken over the position from a mentor and dear friend. "I actually decided to get into radiology because of Kevin Bradley, who was the radiology manager before me," Matt says. "I job shadowed Kevin when I was 14, and we've stayed in contact over the years. He told me about the position opening, and it's been an honor training with Kevin during the transition." Whether at home or in the medical center, Matt is dedicated to improvement. He recently completed the Iowa Hospital Association's Leadership Development Program. When not traveling with his wife and two sons, he is typically on the lookout for home renovation projects. MERCY MEDICAL CENTER-CENTERVILLE /// www.mercycenterville.org 3
