About PETC

Detroit-rooted training built around opportunity.

Phlebotomy Express Training Centers is owned and operated by Kimberly Harrington, a Detroit Public Schools graduate whose leadership is grounded in education, hard work, upward mobility, and helping people begin a new path.

Kimberly established PETC with the belief that practical healthcare training should be accessible to people who are ready to develop new skills and move forward.

That purpose continues to shape a focused learning environment centered on hands-on practice, professional development, student dignity, and meaningful opportunity.

Community Impact

Opportunity grows when barriers come down.

PETC’s work has always been connected to Detroit and to people who are ready to build skills, strengthen their future, and create new possibilities for themselves and their families.

Kimberly Harrington’s community-centered approach is grounded in a simple belief: determination should be met with access, practical support, and meaningful opportunity.

That philosophy has shaped PETC’s learning environment and its involvement in initiatives designed to help Detroit residents move beyond financial and personal barriers to career training.

We wanted to remove some of the barriers that were preventing people from advancing in life.
