Freedom of choice

Abstract

A native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Artis Ann Gilbert, a diagnostic ultrasound sonographer, takes pride in knowing that, when she graduated from the city's university 27 years ago, she was only the third ultrasound technician to do so. Since then, she's assisted with opening ultrasound facilities within small community hospitals in the surrounding area. That is, until Artis began traveling three years ago. Today, she brings her team skills and spunky nature to a variety of acute care facilities nationwide.
