“Paws Up” – brought to you by the PVM Wellness Committee

Jennifer Dehn

March is National Social Work Month! It’s a perfect time to recognize our very own Veterinary Hospital Social Worker, Jennifer Dehn, LSW, MSW. A colleague shared, “Jen demonstrates all of the most important qualities of a social worker – being a strong advocate with a heart for change, driven by passion, fueled by empathy, and dedicated to transforming the lives of others.” This week we share our gratitude with Jen for all she does for the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital and our clients. For more information about the services Jen provides, please click here to visit her webpage on the Client Services section of the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital website.

Fostering a healthy work environment involves expressing appreciation and gratitude. Is there someone at PVM you would like to acknowledge today? It’s easy to make a Paws Up submission – just follow this link. Submissions are published anonymously and may be edited for length. Any PVM staff, faculty, student, or team may be nominated by anyone in our college. For more information, visit the PVM Wellness Committee website.
