Jeanne later assumed the role of Client Care Coordinator with our General Medicine and Neurology services in March of 2013. She has over 15 years of experience in client service, which when combined with her love for all animals, makes her a perfect fit for her role.

She started as a Client Liaison, added Boarding Liaison to her repertoire a year later, and now works as a Specialty Liaison for our General Medicine Team.
