Pet News from UI Vet Teaching Hospital  

JANUARY 2011 EDITION

FROM THE DEAN

The leadership of our Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory changed hands this month, but the quality and commitment to serving you remain the same.


We are deeply indebted to Dr. Wally Hoffmann for his service as interim director over the past four and a half years. Dr. Rick Fredrickson, who has been with the lab for the past eight years, is the new director.

Like Dr. Hoffmann before him, Dr. Fredrickson welcomes feedback from practitioners. Reach him at vdldirectoroffice@vetmed.illinois.edu.-- Herb
