It’s hard to believe that it’s been 29 years since I purchased Brentwood Country Animal Hospital. At the time I had two goals in mind. I wanted first of all to build a staff that cared for people, their animals, and each other. I also wanted us to be partners with our clients, so that they could be empowered to make the best decisions for their animal companions, and to take the best possible care of them.
We are so lucky to have such a supportive community. Dozens of our clients have been with us for the entire journey. I am deeply grateful to all of you.
My staff has been incredibly understanding and protective of me, especially during my various traumatic incidents. Dr. Kate Lawton joined us right after graduating from vet school in 2007. She has been a mainstay of the practice and became its owner in June of last year. I will be retiring at the end of September, and am pleased to leave BCAH in her capable hands.
There are gardens to tend and horses to ride. I’m looking forward to the next chapter.
