Allentown, Pa., January 31, 2025\u2014 Women are still vastly underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, with only 18% of women holding STEM jobs in the United States, according to recent studies. In laboratory science, a field critical to advancing healthcare and diagnostics, the gender gap persists, despite growing opportunities. HNL Lab Medicine is stepping up to change that narrative by fostering opportunities for women in laboratory science and supporting education through initiatives like its School of Phlebotomy, which will be accepting applications starting February 03.<\/p>\n

HNL Lab Medicine is dedicated to fostering pathways into healthcare and STEM careers through accessible educational opportunities and hands-on experience.
