On Wednesday, April 11,
2001, we were privileged to have two excellent students from McKeel Academy
visit our Cleveland Heights facility to "shadow" Dr. Houghton for the
day. Alece Matheny and Justin Shiver, both 10th graders at McKeel Academy,
represented their school well here at the Hospital, as they watched the daily
activities in the medical areas at CHAH. There were a number of surgeries
that made the day very interesting for the students, including a canine
spleenectomy complicated by a 3 pound tumor. We are pleased to be able to help
the community by participating in the shadowing educational programs, and look
forward to young people of this high caliber getting into the field of
Veterinary Medicine.
