Jacob “Jake” Calhoun, a 2025 TechNation Professional of the Month, recently started a new position as biomedical services supervisor at Mercyhealth Wisconsin and Illinois.
This will be at the Freeport location in Illinois, he shared on LinkedIn.
“Looking forward to work with this new location!” he added.
Calhoun garnered an extensive amount of electronics experience before entering the HTM field.
“I saw an ad for an open position in biomed at the hospital, after working 17 years on component level repairs. I knew it would be a lot of testing of equipment, verification of operations than actual component level repair,” he says.
Through his work in other industries, Calhoun had obtained substantial on-the-job training and experience.
“I was an electronics technician for an automatic door rebuild facility for 11 years started in 2003, then repaired, built and assembled conveyor belt electronic scales for six years. I started as a biomedical technician I in 2020 and am now a biomed tech 3,” he says.
Calhoun’s areas of expertise include OEM-training on patient lifts, medical lasers, ultrasound, X-ray and fluoro-radiology equipment. He attended Gadsden State Community College with additional training through GE, RSTI, DirectMed and Laser Training Institute.
