About Us
Our history
At JGB Phlebotomy, we are dedicated to providing top-tier phlebotomy training, rooted in the passion and resilience of our founder, Juanita Burgess. A Philadelphia native with over 30 years of experience in the medical field, Juanita's journey is one of dedication, strength, and a relentless commitment to serving others.
After years of working in healthcare, Juanita envisioned creating a space where individuals could gain the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the vital field of phlebotomy. Despite facing significant personal challenges—including the loss of her mother in 2019 and her husband's cancer diagnosis during the pandemic—Juanita's determination never wavered. In fact, it was these very struggles that ignited her desire to open her own trade school.
Inspired by a family member’s entrepreneurial success and driven by her own background in healthcare, Juanita decided to pursue phlebotomy certification. Her meticulous attention to detail, extensive experience, and unwavering dedication led her to complete her phlebotomy studies and earn her certification in September 2022. It is with this drive and passion for serving her community that she has graduated over 10+ students to become certified phlebotomists through her built-for-success curriculum since the launch of JGB Phlebotomy in Spring of 2024.
Juanita’s story is one of resilience and a deep passion for healthcare. With a focus on excellence, we strive to offer the same level of care and commitment that has shaped our founder’s journey. At JGB Phlebotomy, we equip our students with the knowledge, hands-on experience, and support they need to excel in the rewarding field of phlebotomy.
We are more than just a training school—we are a community, empowered by the same values that have driven Juanita to build something meaningful out of adversity. Join us, and be a part of a story that is as inspiring as it is transformative.
