Veterinary Technicians

Katie has worked at YVH since August of 2003 as a Licensed Veterinary Technician. She is our resident owl lover and has rehabilitated over a dozen with assistance of local Raptor Centers. She is the go-to person for all things relating to our wildlife rehabilitation program. Katie shares her home in Mckenna with her husband and her step-son. The real rulers of the house are her 2 dogs, Taysa & Seeley, and 3 cats, Jello, Smudge and Freddy. When not working all hours at the hospital, Katie really loves the outdoors and hiking around our beautiful state. You will also catch her at any slug bug run around the state as she is LOVES Volkswagon! Katie is a very compassionate person and when you need to bring your 4 legged family member to our hospital, they will be in wonderful hands!

Peggy is a Veterinary Technician and joined us in 2014 working part time. Her and her husband call Olympia home and have two wonderful cats at home named Ghost & Michonne. If you notice our team members wearing pink 'Team Peggy' t-shirts on Friday's this is in support of her and her fight!
