Join the Cath Lab Team at Lahey Hospital

Lahey Hospital, part of Beth Israel Lahey Health (BILH), is a 335-bed Level I trauma center with a dynamic and high-volume STEMI program. Our cardiac catheterization lab performs approximately 4,000 procedures annually, including over 1,000 percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), making us one of the region’s busiest and most advanced interventional cardiology centers.

Our team is made up of experienced and passionate Registered Nurses, Radiologic Technologists, and Scrub Technicians who collaborate to deliver high-quality care. We work ten-hour shifts (7:00 AM – 5:30 PM) and rotate on-call responsibilities during weeknights, weekends, and holidays.

As a Cath Lab team member, you take the lead—prioritizing, coordinating, and delegating patient care throughout procedures. You are autonomous in your practice and thrive in a fast-paced, high-acuity setting.

You’ll work side-by-side with a multidisciplinary team, including physicians, to ensure each patient receives safe, efficient, and compassionate care. You’ll monitor patients, circulate during procedures, and provide moderate sedation.

We care for individuals with complex cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease, and our structural heart program is rapidly expanding, offering cutting-edge procedures such as TAVR, MitraClip, TriClip, and PFO/ASD closure.

You bring curiosity and drive to the role—excited to learn and continuously expand your knowledge in the ever-evolving world of interventional cardiology.

If you're ready to grow your career in a supportive, innovative, and high-performing environment, we want to hear from you.

Join us. Make an impact. Be a part of something bigger at Lahey’s Cath Lab.
