Meet Jenna Mayer, Hospital Administrator at Eau Claire Animal Hospital in Wisconsin—someone who literally grew up inside the walls of the clinic she now leads. From greeting clients by name to driving an elderly pet parent to the ER because he had no way to get there, Jenna leads with empathy, connection, and fierce dedication. She started as a receptionist nine years ago and now leads a high-performing, deeply rooted team with some members celebrating 10, 20, even 30 years at the hospital. “I hope people remember my heart—that I poured everything into helping them grow and feel supported.” We’re proud to have Jenna as part of the Lakefield family. #LakefieldVeterinaryGroup #EveryoneLeavesALegacy #VeterinaryLeadership #ClientCare #HospitalAdministrator #EauClaireAnimalHospital...Show more
