PVMA in Action

PVMA President-Elect Thomas Munkittrick, DVM (center standing) and Pennsylvania students attending VA-MD College of Veterinary Medicine enjoyed dinner at the Farmhouse Restaurant while discussing PVMA’s mission and current goals.

PVMA Board of Trustee Dr. Andrea Carr was a finalist for Eyewitness News’ Remarkable Women Contest. Andrea was nominated for her work as a veterinarian. Earlier this year, with assistance from veterinary technicians of Plains Animal Hospital, Andrea neutered 40 rabbits who had been rescued from a hoarding situation. She volunteers time at the Luzerne SPCA performing surgeries and wellness care. Recently she traveled to 3 different Indian reservations providing free veterinary care to those pet owners. “I spend a lot of time at work and even outside of the hospital doing things veterinary related, and I have to have other outlets to decompress,” Andrea said during an interview. She is director of Camp Mocanaquah which hosts Girl Scouts in the summer, is a student pilot at the Wyoming Valley Airport and is involved in NEPA’s Chapter of Women in Aviation International. “I want to make sure everything I do has purpose, and I leave some sort of a legacy.”
