debbie-employeemocrop1It is my great pleasure to announce Pet Partner’s Employee of the Month, Debbie Stampahar from North Ridge Veterinary Hospital. Debbie has been with Pet Partners as a Certified Pharmacy Technician for nearly four years, and her combination of professional excellence and genuine thoughtfulness toward her team and patients make her the perfect choice for this recognition.

Debbie performs her responsibilities as the hospital’s pharmacy technician with great diligence and accuracy, especially when caring for home-bound patients who need their medication mailed to them quickly. But she also goes beyond her job, assisting her team with anything that might need to be done, from filing and answering phones, to assisting with patient X-rays and lab forms. She is a true resource who stands ahead of the pack.
Her contributions also extend beyond typical office hours. Debbie checks on pets during off hours, and even braved a winter storm to make sure our patients were warm when the electricity went out. But perhaps no one truly appreciates her caring nature as much as Biscuit, the office cat, who stays with Debbie during weekends and holidays when the office is closed.

I join Biscuit, and all of the veterinarians and staff at North Ridge Veterinary Hospital, in thanking Debbie for her commitment and dedication to North Ridge, and I congratulate her on being our first Employee of the Month.
