Team member goes from laundry room to working shoulder to shoulder with world-class surgeons

Carl Schumacher began his career at IU Health 8 years ago working in the laundry room. He’s held several different positions since then and is now training to be a surgical technician, working shoulder to shoulder with surgeons in the operating room. “Working for a company like IU Health, once you get your foot in the door you can wiggle your way around. I’ve had a lot of jobs and [anyone] can do it if you put your mind to it.”
