SPRINGFIELD — Baystate Health announced that Dean Sanpei has joined the organization as senior vice president and chief strategy officer.

With more than 20 years of experience, Sanpei is an experienced leader in healthcare strategy and business development, with strong legislative acumen as a former state representative in Utah. Most recently, he served as chief strategy officer at Centura Health, a network of 25 hospitals, 5,000 physicians, and ambulatory-care settings in Colorado, Kansas, and Utah. At Centura, he led enterprise strategic planning and implementation, service-line development, revenue growth, and the crafting and passage of state public policy that significantly expanded health-insurance coverage in the state.

Prior to Centura, Sanpei spent almost two decades working in strategy for Intermountain Health, nationally renowned for integrated delivery-system development, value- and risk-based care, and clinical outcomes. While at Intermountain, he was also a Utah state representative, serving his constituents by leading the appropriations process, including transitioning the Medicaid program to accountable care and population health. He has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Hawaii and a master of public administration degree from Brigham Young University.

“Dean brings valuable experience from within the healthcare industry, as well as in-depth perspective on healthcare legislation from his time as a Utah representative,” said Peter Banko, Baystate Health president and CEO. “Most importantly, he has a passion and purpose for mission and community, and his leadership strongly aligns with Baystate’s core values of respect, integrity, teamwork, and lifelong learning.”

Sen. Gomez Secures Funding for Statewide Equity Initiatives

By
Daily News

BOSTON — State Sen. Adam Gomez announced that a pair of initiatives he sponsored during the Senate budget debate aimed at expanding access to financial resources for minority and disadvantaged business owners have been included in the final version of the budget signed by Gov. Maura Healey on Monday.

Through amendments submitted by the second-term senator, the Coalition for an Equitable Economy and Amplify LatinX will receive $250,000 and $300,000, respectively, to support the success of Black, Latino, Indigenous, and other underserved small businesses in the Commonwealth.

“I am proud to see this Legislature prioritize funding and directing resources toward marginalized and still-disadvantaged groups as they aim to make their mark in our state,” Gomez said. “It is important that these individuals are connected directly to the resources they need, resources they have been previously denied, as we look to make our state more equitable for all citizens.”

The Coalition for an Equitable Economy was formed in response to the need for more support for smaller and most-vulnerable businesses, particularly those owned by minorities, disabled individuals, veterans, and low- and moderate-income people. Their mission is to ensure equitable access to capital, business networks, education, technical support and other resources for Black, Latinx, immigrant, and low-income small-business owners in Massachusetts while eliminating any barriers to investment and growth.

“On behalf of our entire Coalition for an Equitable Economy community, I extend our deepest gratitude to Senator Gomez for the generous earmark of $250,000,” said Tracye Whitefield, the coalition’s executive director. “This critical funding will enable us to sustain and grow our small-business ecosystem. Your support is instrumental in helping us achieve our goals and improve the lives of those we serve. Thank you for your unwavering dedication and commitment to small businesses.”

Amplify LatinX is a Massachusetts-based nonprofit formed in 2018 by the Latina Circle Inc. that serves as a non-partisan, collaborative convener advancing Latino leadership representation, economic prosperity, and civic engagement. Its mission focuses on accelerating pathways of prosperity and leadership growth, advancing Latine representation into positions of power and influence, creating advocates for racial equity and economic mobility, prioritizing policies that impact the Latine community, and championing Latine civic and business leaders and entrepreneurs.

“Amplify LatinX extends our deepest gratitude to Senator Adam Gomez for his continuous and unwavering commitment in supporting our work advancing Latino prosperity. The $300,000 in funding secured through his leadership will contribute to the ALX Small Business Program, which works closely with small-business owners to give them the tools they need to succeed,” said Eneida Román, president and CEO of Amplify Latinx. “This investment is a vital step toward creating systemic change and ensuring that our community and Massachusetts’ economy thrives.”

Senior Planning Guide 2024

By
Senior Planning Special Coverage Special Publications

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Americans age 65 and older — which was 35 million in 2000, just 12% of the population — will reach 73 million by 2030, or 21% of U.S. residents. That’s a lot of people. And a lot of planning. And a lot of living left to enjoy.

Achieving your goals — and your desires for your loved ones — requires careful thought, and that was the original thought behind the annual Senior Planning Guide presented by BusinessWest and the Healthcare News.

Go HERE to view the Digital Interactive 2024 Senior Planning Guide

In this year’s edition, we bring you local and national perspectives on everything from the key documents in senior planning — wills, healthcare proxies, living trusts, and more — to discussions on home care, assisted living, adult foster care, and other models; from paying for care to having the talk with your senior loved ones about the next stage of their life.

We present pieces dealing with tough topics like dementia risk and the signs of elder abuse, and also stories about eating well as we get older, easing the stress of caregiving, and the ways in which the senior-living industry has evolved and, in many ways, improved over the years.

In short, stories about the questions families are grappling with every day.

After all, the retirement years should be an enjoyable time, highlighted by special moments with family and friends, the freedom to engage in a range of activities, maybe even a chance to develop new interests and hobbies. But to make the most of that time, knowledge and planning are critically important. Hopefully, the 2024 Senior Planning Guide will be a helpful resource in that process.

Mikael Pyrtel, until recently the director of Economic Development for the town of Orange, has joined the Orange Economic Development and Industrial Corp. (OEDIC) as executive director. Pyrtel has a long history of successfully facilitating economic growth and development in key sectors of the economy at the local, regional, state, and federal levels and expects to transition the work he has been doing for the town seamlessly into his new organization. OEDIC operates under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 121C, which empowers local development organizations to implement projects that increase employment and develop disused or dilapidated properties. The citizens of Orange voted last year to expand OEDIC’s footprint beyond industrial areas to include those zoned for business. Recent budget woes in town led to the defunding of Pyrtel’s position but created an opportunity for OEDIC.

It also contributed $5,000 to BFAIR, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.

The gala is the nonprofit’s top fundraising event of the year, raising money to assist in its mission to combat poverty and homelessness through home construction and repair. MountainOne’s community dividend grant program also supports numerous community events, including the Summer Concert Series hosted by Friends of the Scituate Library, farmers’ markets in North Adams and Williamstown, Pittsfield and Williamstown 4th of July parades, and the North Adams Downtown Celebration on Aug. 14.

CET Launches Carbon Conscious Business Accreditation

SPRINGFIELD — CET (formerly the Center for EcoTechnology) announced the launch of its Carbon Conscious Business accreditation, an initiative designed to recognize and celebrate businesses committed to reducing their carbon footprint through energy conservation, transitioning off fossil fuels, reducing waste, and other solutions. With commercial and residential buildings contributing 30% of U.S. greenhouse-gas emissions, decarbonizing this sector is essential to meeting CET’s climate goals. Decarbonizing offers numerous benefits: it mitigates climate change, potentially lowers operating costs and improves building comfort, and enhances reputation and brand value. Additionally, it ensures regulatory compliance, attracts purpose-driven employees, and improves public health and well-being by enhancing air and water quality. To begin the journey toward being accredited as a Carbon Conscious Business, businesses will meet with CET energy and waste experts to identify existing and new decarbonization opportunities tailored to the business. CET will then develop a customized action plan that outlines relevant measures to reduce carbon emissions. Once all measures have been completed, the business will be awarded a one-, two-, or three-star Carbon Conscious Business accreditation based on the extent of implementation. Regardless of the progress, CET will celebrate the participating company’s achievements with marketing opportunities, window decals, and table tents to showcase its commitment to sustainability.

HNE Creates $250,000 Grant Fund to Honor Dr. Mark Keroack

SPRINGFIELD — To honor Dr. Mark Keroack’s 10 years on the board of directors of Health New England, the health plan is creating a $250,000 grant-making fund to help community organizations improve health equity. Keroack, president and CEO emeritus of Baystate Health, retired at the end of June. As chair of the board of Health New England, a not-for-profit health plan owned by Baystate Health, he helped form a deeper, more collaborative relationship between the entities. The Dr. Mark A. Keroack Health Equity Grant program will provide local nonprofit organizations with a one-time grant of up to $50,000 to advance health equity in healthcare over a one-year period. Programs are required to promote health equity and include community collaboration resulting in improved health outcomes. Programs must target communities in Franklin, Hampden, or Hampshire counties and focus on one or more of these populations: children and youth, communities of color, individuals experiencing poverty or with low incomes, or older adults. Nonprofit organizations can learn more or apply for the grant by Aug. 28 at healthnewengland.org/community/grantprogram.

 

AIC’s Criminal Justice Program Receives Quinn Bill Approval

SPRINGFIELD — American International College (AIC) announced that its master of science in criminal justice program has been approved under the Guidelines for Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement Academic Programs by the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education (BHE). This approval qualifies the fully online degree for the Police Career Incentive Pay Program, also known as the Quinn Bill. The Massachusetts Legislature enacted the Quinn Bill to encourage police officers to earn degrees in law enforcement and criminal justice by providing educational incentives for full-time officers in participating cities and towns through salary increases. This approval means that AIC’s master of science in criminal justice program meets or exceeds all quality standards established by the guidelines, making its graduates eligible for incentive pay increases. By participating in the Quinn Bill, students who are full-time police officers in Massachusetts can receive significant salary increases upon graduation, providing a tangible return on their educational investment. This incentive not only encourages professional development, but also enhances the quality of law-enforcement services by ensuring officers are well-educated in the latest theories and practices in criminal justice.

Women of Impact Nominations

Through Sept. 2: BusinessWest is now accepting nominations for the seventh annual Women of Impact awards. In 2018, BusinessWest created the Women of Impact program as a way to honor women in the region who are making an impact and creating positive change. Women of Impact was chosen as the name for the program because, while nominees can hail from the world of business, they can also emerge from other realms, such as the nonprofit community, public service, law enforcement, education, social work, the mentorship community, a combination of these — in short, we’re recognizing inspirational women on any level. Since its inception, the women honored through this program have been successful, inspiring, and most importantly, impactful. Consider nominating someone for this prestigious award. Nominations for the class of 2024 are due by Monday, Sept. 2 at 5 p.m., and the honorees will be announced in the Oct. 14 issue of BusinessWest. Nominations should be written with one underlying mission: to explain why the individual in question is, indeed, a woman of impact. Visit businesswest.com/women-of-impact-nominations for additional information and a nomination form. For more information, call Natasha Mercado-Santana, Marketing and Events manager, at (413) 781-8600, ext. 100, or email [email protected].

“By partnering with Wheeler & Taylor, both agencies can do even more for their personal and business customers,” he noted. “Local decision making combined with national resources creates a unique opportunity for agencies like them to preserve their heritage and commitment to the local community while at the same time significantly expanding their access to a broadened marketplace of insurance carriers, knowledge to insure nationwide, and commercial expertise allowing for expanded product offerings.”

Deep Associates is located at 34 Ashland St., North Adams. Thompson & Linscott Insurance Agency is at 32 Park St., Adams.

Mirick Insurance Agency of Shelburne Falls and Albert B. Allen Insurance Agency of Greenfield also each recently entered a partnership with Wheeler & Taylor.

MONSON — Monson Savings Bank recently announced that it will be a Golden Circle Sponsor of this year’s Spirit of Springfield City of Bright Nights Ball. The bank recently presented a $7,000 donation to the Spirit of Springfield.

Additionally, the bank donated $3,500 to Spirit of Springfield in support of the World’s Largest Pancake Breakfast, which took place in May. As a major sponsor of that event, Monson Savings Bank team members were on site at their booth on Main Street the day of the breakfast providing free giveaways and activities.

The City of Bright Nights Ball, a formal, black-tie gala event, is the largest annual fundraiser the Spirit of Springfield organizes. Like last year, the gala will be held at MGM Springfield, where community members will enjoy dinner, dancing, auctions, and a 50/50 raffle. In attendance will be business, community, military, public-safety, and political leaders.

“We are honored to help support the Bright Nights Ball again this year. The ball is an excellent, long-standing tradition in Springfield, helping the Spirit of Springfield raise funds to invest back into the community,” said Dan Moriarty, president and CEO of Monson Savings Bank. “Many of our team members grew up in and still live in Springfield and its surrounding communities, so the Spirit of Springfield’s mission is close to our hearts.”

Monson Savings Bank has strong ties in the Greater Springfield area, helping local businesses, customers, and many nonprofits to thrive, said Michael Rouette, the bank’s executive vice president and chief operating officer. “Monson Savings Bank is proud to be a part of the Springfield community. It is organizations like the Spirit of Springfield that unite us as a community and as friends.”

Added Judy Matt, president of Spirit of Springfield, “on behalf of the Spirit of Springfield and the Springfield community, thank you so much to Monson Savings Bank for their continued support over the years.

Greenfield Awarded $925,000 in CDBG Funding

By
Daily News

GREENFIELD — The city of Greenfield is receiving $925,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. The funds will be utilized to support a medley of community-based initiatives.

CDBG is a federal program that provides funding to states and localities for economic and community development. The funding is geared toward building viable local communities, particularly for people of low or moderate income.

Greenfield is a mini-entitlement community under the Massachusetts CDBG program. The city must apply for and receive approval from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC) for each project it wishes to fund. Community planning for Greenfield’s FY 2024 CDBG funds included two public hearings and a request-for-proposals process for the social-services projects. The city submitted its FY24 proposal to the state on March 25.

The funds will be allocated to the following projects:

• $250,000 for housing rehabilitation, executed through a partnership with Community Action Pioneer Valley to rehabilitate four housing units and set aside for emergency repairs;

• $201,751 for water-main replacement design and engineering, to support bid-ready designs and plans for replacing water mains in the downtown central commercial zoning district. The bid/design stage is calculated at 15% of construction costs. Water-main replacements will take place over the next five years;

• $112,500 for microenterprise assistance, executed through a partnership with Franklin County Community Development Corp., a collaboration that includes workshops for small-business owners and potential owners and investment capital for qualified microenterprises; and

• $185,000 for several social-service programs, including: $50,000 for Community Legal Aid’s Homelessness Prevention Project, $44,200 for Wildflower Alliance’s Homelessness Prevention Greenfield expansion, $40,800 for the Stone Soup Café Community Free Store, $35,000 for the Center for Human Development’s Greenfield Elder Wellness Program, and $15,000 for the Center for New Americans Fostering Immigrant Self-sufficiency Program.

“This CDBG funding round will leave a lasting impact on Greenfield,” Mayor Ginny Desorgher said. “I am grateful to CDBG coordinator Anna Oltman and the Community and Economic Development Department for overseeing this process. I am proud that the funds effectively address a variety of important issues in our community.”

Added Community Development Administrator Anna Oltman, “thank you to the Massachusetts EOHLC for funding this program. Greenfield’s social-services agencies really stepped up with some amazing projects this round, and we’re so grateful to them for the work they’re doing, especially in the areas of homelessness prevention and elder services.”

Now in its 12th year, this car show, presented by Al Widlan, owner of Service Connection, is set to once again make a meaningful impact on the lives of pets in need at Second Chance Animal Services.

This has been a challenging year for Second Chance, and funds raised through this event directly contribute to vital programs that make a difference for pets in the community.

The festivities are set to kick off at 10 a.m. and continue until 3 p.m., featuring food, ice cream, and an assortment of fall attractions that Westview Farms Creamery is known for, from pumpkin picking to navigating through a corn maze. Live music by the Barberic Band will provide a perfect soundtrack to the day, which will also include a raffle and more.

The event is sponsored in part by Ted and Barbara Hebert of Teddy Bear Pools & Spas and by Joe Campisi, a longtime friend of Second Chance. Organizers extend an invitation to local businesses and vendors to support of pets in need. Information on sponsorship opportunities, item donations, and becoming a vendor can be found at secondchanceanimals.org/events/cruise.

The event will welcome spectators free of charge. Car enthusiasts are encouraged to take part in the show by contributing a $20 entry fee per vehicle, with every dollar earmarked for the betterment of pets’ lives. A rain date has been set for Saturday, Sept. 28.

Neal Celebrates Funding for Flyover at West Springfield Rail Crossing

By
Daily News

WEST SPRINGFIELD — On Monday, U.S. Rep. Richard Neal joined Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Rail & Transit Administrator Meredith Slesinger, West Springfield Mayor William Reichelt, Agawam Mayor Christopher Johnson, and state and local officials to announce funding for the construction of a flyover across the Front Street rail crossing and a new roadway configuration that will connect Bridge and Second streets in West Springfield.

A point of intersection between the towns of Agawam and West Springfield, the Front Street rail crossing serves as just one of three connecting roads between the two municipalities, with nearly 8,000 vehicles traveling through the rail crossing every day. As a route that connects two prominent commercial areas in both towns, including Main and North streets in Agawam and Route 20 in West Springfield, freight operations along this crossing have continuously disrupted the ability of residents to travel between the two towns.

This disruption has also impeded the ability of emergency vehicles that rely on this route to provide critical care to local residents, forcing them to seek alternative routes when the crossing is blocked by a parked train and delaying their response time.

A partnership between MassDOT, CSX Transportation, and the municipalities of West Springfield and Agawam, this $20+ million project will be funded with support from the federal government, including funding from the Railway-Highway Crossings (Section 130) Program. This program was supplemented by $245 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for FY22 through FY26. This project will also receive funding from state and local sources, along with a $2 million funding commitment from CSX.

“This crossing has posed a number of challenges to the communities of Agawam and West Springfield for several years,” Neal said. “After advocating with MassDOT and state and local officials, we have delivered a project that will provide the long-term solution residents have advocated for while advancing the Commonwealth’s larger goal of making west-east rail a reality.”

This project proposes to eliminate two highway-rail grade crossings by converting to a railroad under grade separation through the construction of an overpass along a new roadway alignment.

This project is located just over one mile west of the West Springfield CSX Transportation Intermodal Terminal along the Boston & Albany railroad corridor. The proximity to the Intermodal Terminal results in inefficiencies to railyard operations and can lead to both crossings being blocked for extended periods of time, sometimes multiple times a day, impacting vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists as trains arriving at the facility are switched and sorted.

“After many years of conversation about accessibility over the tracks, I am looking forward to the opportunity to provide our communities with an innovative option,” Reichelt said.

Added Johnson, “it is exciting to hear that, with the assistance of Congressman Neal, progress has been made on the critical transportation problem caused by the closure of Front Street during times when trains are parked on the tracks. This closure of a key route between Agawam and West Springfield presents a significant challenge to public safety, especially in mutual-aid scenarios involving police, fire, and emergency medical services. It also affects local residents and businesses due to the unpredictable nature of the times and dates when trains cause the road closure. This is especially true during the Big E when the other routes between Agawam and West Springfield are extremely congested with fairgoers.”

Elm Electrical Hosts Summer Program for Aspiring Electricians

By
Daily News

SPRINGFIELD — Elm Electrical announced its summer program designed for students interested in exploring the electrical field. Dubbed Elm Futures, this initiative invites prospective co-op students to participate in a free, four-day training seminar aimed at honing their skills and showcasing their talents.

From Monday through Wednesday, participants will receive comprehensive instruction and hands-on training at Elm University’s state-of-the-art multimedia classrooms and labs. The seminar culminates on Thursday with Challenge Day, where students will apply their newfound knowledge in a project-board challenge. Elm project managers will be on hand to evaluate their work, offer feedback, and get to know the students.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to highlight our training facility and introduce young minds to the electrical field,” said Paul Asselin, an Elm instructor. “We’re excited to see if students follow our strict safety protocols, ask questions, collaborate well with others, and exhibit a positive attitude. This program gives us a snapshot of their potential as future co-op students.”

Asselin emphasized the value of the program for students from traditional high schools who might not have considered a trade career. “Often, these students think it’s too late to enter a trade. We ensure they know that pursuing a career in the electrical field is still very much an option.”

The third session of the program started July 29 and runs through Thursday, Aug. 1, with the final session scheduled a couple of weeks later. “We’ve had two great sessions so far, and I’m looking forward to getting to know a new group of students this week,” Asselin added.

Elm University serves as Elm Electrical’s in-house training facility year-round. Employees aiming to become licensed electricians can enroll in a four-year apprentice program, working their regular jobs Monday through Thursday and attending school at Elm U every other Friday at no cost. This eliminates the need for night school and prepares students to sit for their electrician licensing exam after four years.

“Integrating our Futures program with Elm U allows us to develop our future workforce from the ground up,” Asselin said, noting that, in a couple of weeks, Elm Electrical will celebrate the signing of three of last year’s co-op students to full-time employment. “The fact that we can confidently offer full-time positions to last year’s co-op students speaks volumes about the success of this program.”

Biden-Harris Administration Approves Massachusetts Internet Expansion Proposal

By
Daily News

BOSTON — Last week, the Biden-Harris administration and the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) approved Massachusetts’ proposal under NTIA’s Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program that will allow Massachusetts to request up to $147 million in federal funding to expand access to high-speed internet in the state.

“All our residents, from students pursuing education opportunities to individuals seeking new jobs and career training to small-business owners across the state, need high-speed internet in order to thrive in our economy,” Gov. Maura Healey said. “This proposal will help Massachusetts close the digital divide by bringing high-speed internet to all.”

The $42.45 billion BEAD program aims to deploy and upgrade high-speed internet infrastructure and support high-speed internet adoption, training, and workforce-development efforts in line with the national Internet for All program, which provides digital skills training and education to low-income populations, improves online accessibility of social services for individuals with disabilities, and empowers rural communities to measure their own broadband needs.

“High-speed internet is the backbone of our economy,” Executive Office of Economic Development Secretary Yvonne Hao said. “With this support from the Biden-Harris administration, we can make Massachusetts more affordable, equitable, and competitive by ensuring every resident of our state can get online.”

BEAD funding will target projects identified through Massachusetts’ BEAD Challenge, an initiative that ran throughout June and July and provided local governments, nonprofits, tribal governments, and internet service providers an opportunity to work with residents to identify gaps in broadband availability. The data collected as part of this process will help pinpoint locations that are underserved or unserved by broadband providers and are therefore eligible for funding under BEAD.

In total, Massachusetts is set to receive more than $400 million in federal funding to close the digital divide. In addition to the $147 million in BEAD funding administered by the NTIA, the state is in the process of deploying $75 million in American Rescue Plan funding and $175 million from the Capital Projects Fund to close existing broadband gaps. In March, the NTIA announced that Massachusetts will receive $14 million in funding to address the digital divide through skills training, device access, and internet affordability.

New Longmeadow Vet Clinic to Host Open House on Aug. 3

By
Daily News

LONGMEADOW — The old saying ‘the dog days of summer’ has taken on new meaning in Longmeadow.

Local pets and their owners will soon have an in-town option when it comes to quality care. Caroline Joos, Kristin Lappetito, and Angela DuBois are officially opening the doors of Longmeadow Veterinary Clinic, the town’s only veterinary clinic, on Monday, Aug. 5 at 916 Shaker Road.

To introduce themselves to the community, Joos, Lappetito, and DuBois are inviting the public to an open house on Saturday, Aug. 3 from 10 a.m. to noon. The event will include tours of the new, state-of-the-art facility; giveaways; and free coffee and pastries from Pour Things Coffee.

“Since moving to Massachusetts, I have loved the charm of Longmeadow and was shocked that there wasn’t a vet clinic in the community,” Joos said. “We were looking for a commercial location for a while, and then this one popped up.”

Joos grew up in Rochester, N.Y., where she started working at a vet clinic at 15 as a kennel attendant. She worked as a veterinary technician throughout high school, as well as in college and veterinary school at Cornell University.

Joos and Lappetito met at Cornell, where they both graduated from veterinary school in 2009. Joos then worked in New Jersey, Pittsburgh, and in the Springfield area before purchasing Feeding Hills Veterinary Clinic in 2020. Joos met DuBois when she moved to the area; the two have been business partners since 2022.

After graduating from Cornell, Lappetito began working on horses in California, then moved to Pennsylvania to focus on veterinary care for rural mixed animals. In 2012, she moved to Massachusetts and has been working in a small animal emergency room ever since, focusing on sick pets and ultrasound.

DuBois has been in the veterinary field for 23 years, earning her certified veterinary practice manager certificate in 2019. She started as a kennel technician and worked her way up through the years, giving her valuable experience all aspects of veterinary clinic management.

The Aug. 3 open house is a way for the community to meet the three owners of Longmeadow Veterinary Clinic and hear more about their practice and their philosophy when it comes to pet care.

“What I love most about veterinary medicine is being able to provide excellent care to our patients,” DuBois said. “I also love educating owners and helping them make informed decisions about their pet’s care. We are all in veterinary medicine because we love animals and want to do what is best for them and their owners.”

For more information, visit www.longmeadow.vet or email [email protected]. While the clinic is not yet open, pet parents can make start making appointments now.
