Per Diem, Non-Exempt Schedule:

8, 10 or 12-hour shifts, variable scheduled days Your role with us As a radiologic technologist at West Valley Hospital, part of the Salem Health system, you'll play an essential role in providing high-quality diagnostic imaging to patients in the close-knit community of Dallas, Oregon. Our imaging services support the inpatient and emergency departments 24/7, with outpatient services operating Monday through Friday and occasional weekend coverage. This role offers a unique opportunity to work in a smaller hospital setting with a supportive team, manageable patient volumes, and no on-call requirements—allowing you to focus on delivering exceptional patient care. At West Valley, you'll be part of a highly collaborative imaging team where everyone knows each other and works together to support both patients and one another. During the day, you'll partner with a team that includes a lead technologist, CT technologists, and fellow X-ray technologists; in the evenings, a smaller cross-trained team works together across modalities to meet patient needs. This structure creates a strong team-oriented environment where flexibility and a willingness to help wherever needed are highly valued. Our technologists do more than capture images—they use critical thinking and clinical judgment to tailor each exam to the patient's condition and comfort level. You'll work with digital imaging technology including Philips and Canon portable equipment, and utilize EPIC, Radiant, and PACS systems to deliver seamless, efficient care. West Valley Hospital is an ideal setting for technologists looking to grow their hospital experience in a supportive, lower-volume environment. Many of our team members use this role as a stepping stone to expand their skills, with opportunities for cross-training and professional development within the Salem Health network. Here, you'll truly experience the best of both worlds: the personal feel and pace of a small community hospital, backed by the resources, stability, and clinical excellence of a leading regional health system. Your technical expertise, teamwork, and compassion will help ensure every patient receives exceptional care and an outstanding experience from start to finish. What you'll do Select appropriate radiation exposure settings based on the patient's body type and condition. Capture high-quality images, tailoring exams to meet the specific needs of each patient. Document thorough and relevant patient histories, including symptoms and onset. Provide compassionate care while ensuring patient comfort and safety throughout the imaging process. Operate imaging equipment safely and efficiently. Perform routine care, identify malfunctions, and report issues to ensure minimal downtime. Utilize Radiant Radiology, EPIC, and PACS systems for imaging requests, documentation, and charge entry. Support the care team by assisting with various tasks such as clerical duties, patient calls, order protocols, phlebotomy, rooming, POC testing, and medication administration as needed.
