Kankakee Community College - Radiography Program

Radiologic Technologists are highly educated medical professionals who play a critical role in patient care. We complete rigorous academic programs, extensive clinical training, and national certification to ensure that every image we produce is accurate and every patient is protected from unnecessary radiation. Our knowledge of anatomy, radiation safety, positioning, and imaging technology is essential to the patient's care and accurate diagnosis.
This profession is built on education, skill, and accountability. Our patients safety depends on it.

Please take the time to educate yourself on the legislation currently being proposed. These decisions impact not only our profession, but the quality and safety of care patients receive every day.

It is with profound sadness that we bid farewell to an exceptional educator who founded and developed the KCC radiography program. Ed was more than a professor—he was a dedicated mentor whose influence will be deeply felt for years to come.

Ed's impact on our field and community is immeasurable. He touched countless lives, both through his direct instruction and through the students he trained, including Darla Jepson , Mendy Corbett, and myself, who have continued to share the knowledge and values he instilled in us. We have carried forward his work, and I am deeply honored to preserve and advance the legacy he built. Rest in Peace, Ed.
