The private pathology practice where he works with five pathologists and 14 medical laboratory professionals provide the following for their employees:

-A Lab Week Coupon for two hours of paid time off.
-A one-hour massage session from a certified massage therapist.
-A catered lunch.
-Employee awards.
-Tickets to concerts, art showings and movies.
-Gift cards to local eateries, local stores and Amazon.

“I love my job, and I love the fact that I learn something new every day,” said Krieger, who works in the Flow Cytometry Laboratory at Yellowstone Pathology Institute, Inc., in Billings, MT. “It is never boring! Being in a small private practice is a great experience that I would not change for the world.

“The fact that this small practice provides such specialized testing for all of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming gives me a sense of accomplishment for providing accurate and timely patient results to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.”
