Moving

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
It’s been many months in the making, but we finally moved into our new clinical work space this week!  We are very much enjoying the new surgical suite, new and larger clinical treatment area, and new clinical laboratory, and hope to have our new digital X-Ray system on-line by the end of the week!  Things are still a bit chaotic at times as we move all of our equipment and supplies into the new work area, but we’re coming up with all sorts of new ideas on how to work better and more efficiently within the newly remodeled facility!  It’s all very exciting!
And as we make this move, we’re also getting ready to start the second phase of our project, that of completely remodeling our reception area and waiting room!  This will be a much more conspicuous project, as we’ll be cleaning up and utilizing the old surgery suite and treatment area as a temporary reception and waiting area. But we’re confident that it will all be worth a little inconvenience as we continue to update and rebuild our practice!
We’ll continue to keep you posted as to the many changes ongoing within our practice, and please feel free to stop by and take a quick look at our new clinical work space!

Greetings from the NAVC!

I was a little worried a couple of weeks ago that I’d head down to Florida only to find weather that really wasn’t much warmer than that of State College!  But fortunately, the cold snap has abated in the south, and it’s generally been in the low 70’s during the day here in Orlando!
I’m attending the North American Veterinary Conference which is held every January here in Orlando.  It’s one of the largest veterinary conferences held in the country every year, packed full of good quality Continuing Education Lectures as well as “hands-on” Wetlabs covering a variety of interests and disciplines.  I spent most of the day yesterday in lectures related to Cardio-Pulmonary Medicine sponsored by the Academy of Veterinary Cardiology, and today will be the Neurology Symposium sponsored by the British Small Animal Veterinary Association!
But it’s not all lectures and classroom work . . . I very much enjoyed the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine Alumni Reception last night, and there’s always some major entertainment during a couple of the evenings (Martin Short did a comedy show the first night of the conference, and Foreigner will be playing in the ballroom tonight).
So . . . although the warm weather is nice, I’ll be looking forward to returning to State College later this week, and bringing back some new ideas and “updates” to improve our practice at the Mt. Nittany Veterinary Hospital!

Welcome Dr. Jones

The Mt. Nittany Veterinary Hospital is excited to welcome Dr. Rochelle Jones to our clinical staff.  Dr. Jones comes to State College after trekking all the way across the country from San Francisco where she had been practicing for the last five years.  Dr. Jones is a graduate of the University of California at Davis (D.V.M., 2004), and brings with her a solid background in small animal medicine and surgery.
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Jones to the practice and the State College area, and feel free to stop by and say “hi” anytime!
