Held every year since 1875, the Kentucky Derby is the oldest continuously held horse race in the country. In 1774, Ford Harrod (now Harrodsburg) was established as the first permanent settlement in the Kentucky region. It was named after James Harrod, who led the construction efforts. Cumberland Falls in Kentucky is only place in Western Hemisphere to spot a moonbow on a regular basis (a moonbow is a rainbow made from light reflected off of the moon at night).Requires Vizient CoversheetHospitals and doctors’ offices wouldn’t be the same without medical lab technicians. MLTs are a critical component of a functioning healthcare facility. They work under the supervision of physicians, lab managers or lab technologists to conduct lab tests on specimens. The work they do behind-the-scenes helps doctors detect diseases or illnesses and determine treatment options. MLTs perform chemical analyses of body fluids (such as blood or urine) using a microscope or automatic analyzer. These tools help MLTs detect abnormalities or diseases, using a computer to enter their findings throughout the process. These chemical analyses are considered to be a core job duty, but MLTs also use mechanical and electrical devices to ensure their test results conform to specifications.
