Elizabeth Gildone

The Tri-C Radiography and Mammography Program Director - A Believer in Possibility

Professional background: Having previously obtained her bachelor’s and master’s degrees, Elizabeth began her journey in radiography as a student at Tri-C in 1996. After graduating in 1998, she held various positions at the Cleveland Clinic, including CT technologist and education administrator. In 2011, she was recruited to serve as the Radiography and Mammography Program Director at Tri-C, a role she has held for 14 years.

Proudest moment: Elizabeth has played a key role in implementing Tri-C’s Radiography evening and weekend track to address health care worker shortages and improve access to education. She is proud to announce that the 19th cohort for this evening and weekend track will begin in Fall 2025.

Other achievements: In 2018, Elizabeth established a chapter of the Lambda Nu National Honor Society for Radiologic and Imaging Sciences at Tri-C. This honor society not only recognizes and promotes excellence in the field but also offers scholarships. Many students aim to join when they begin the Radiography program. Since its inception in 2018, over 135 students have been inducted from Tri-C’s three medical imaging programs: Radiography, Nuclear Medicine, and Diagnostic Medical Sonography. Notably, 96 of the inductees are from the Radiography program.

Personal insights: Outside of work, Elizabeth loves salsa dancing. You can find her taking lessons and practicing with her performance team on Thursdays and Sundays. She also loves baking, particularly decorated cookies. She will happily share her recipe for delicious sugar cookies and frosting with anyone interested. A fun fact about her is that she enjoys writing parody songs and has a collection similar to those of “Weird Al” Yankovic.

Closing remarks: “I believe in possibility, especially with students. They need an institution and people to believe in them. Our program at Tri-C can change the trajectory of their lives.”
