Dr. Kilmer

So long to Dr. Kilmer! She married Steve Olzsowy on January 2nd, and they decided to move back to the big city of Atlanta. She has joined an all cat practice in Roswell and started work there on April 1st. We will miss her but wish she and Steve lots of luck in the future.

Christmas for the Staff
The staff of AHC met at the Richards' home for fun, food and fellowship. After Dexter's favorite meal of lasagna, the staff exchanged gifts before going to the mall. They had to sit on Santa's knee to get their gift, which was an envelope of money to be spent on themselves in one hours time. Dr. Richards and Connie roamed the mall taking candid shots as they raced from store to store trying to spend all of their money. Recognition was given to Dexter who had no money left and to Dr. Kilmer who had one cent. We put all of the leftover money in the Salvation Army bucket. After the excitement was over, we returned to the Richards' home to show and tell about all their purchases. We were then joined by spouses/dates to roast hot dogs and marshmallows over a bonfire. Much fun was had by all!!

Dr. Doscher
Dr. Teresa Doscher leaves Animal Health Center. She has taken an extended leave to spend time studying for her state boards. We will miss her sweet smile and willingness to help take the load off Dr. Richards' shoulders.

Carmen Hart
Carmen Hart was involved in a partnering program through the Valdosta High School. She spent 8 to 10 hours in our practice weekly for several months seeing what veterinary medicine was all about. She had been in several human physicians offices as well as spending time at the Doctor's Laboratory. She aspires to be a member of the medical community in some capacity. She is getting a well rounded view of what it's all about. Carmen was preceded in this program by Alisha Edwards and Cody.
