It’s Vet Tech Week! 🐾
Every clinic has people who keep it standing. Ours has four, and they deserve to be shouted from the rooftops.
Heather Graber, Hospital Manager. Heather is the backbone of this clinic. Schedules, staff, supplies, teching the heck out of it, and the hundred fires nobody else sees: she handles all of it. If this place runs, it runs because Heather makes it run.
Hailey Neibauer. Hailey first joined us as a high school intern, and we got to watch her fall in love with this work. She went on to earn her veterinary technician training at Pima Medical Institute, then came back and brought those sharpened skills right home to us. She grew into a role that’s going to be very hard to fill. Now she’s headed to Arizona to work with Performance Equine, and while we are proud of her, we’re going to feel this one. Hailey, those horses have no idea how lucky they are. Go show them what you’ve got.
Sue Beug, The Legacy. Sue is Dr. Beug’s wife, and she is a rock. She’s our counselor, a gifted technician with years of experience behind her, and hands down the most amazing anesthesia technician of all time. When a patient goes under, there is no one we’d rather have watching over them. Sue is the foundation this clinic was built on.
Becky Kowalzek, Reception and Key Kindness Coordinator. Becky is the first voice you hear and the first smile you see. She answers every question, she loves on every boarder like it’s her own, and she makes sure every animal and every person who walks through our door feels cared for. That title isn’t a joke. It’s her job description.
Vet techs and support staff are the heart of veterinary medicine. We couldn’t do any of it without these four.
Thank you, ladies. This week is yours, and honestly, so is every other one. ❤️
