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

Carol Zink portrait

Today we convey appreciation for Carol Zink, RVT, who is a Clinical Curriculum Coordinator/Skills Instructor. A staff member expressed, “During Wellness Week, Carol was incredibly helpful in managing the ongoing ‘bagel situation,’ taking the initiative to ensure the tables stayed clean and organized and the Lynn Hall entrance remained welcoming for everyone. Her awareness and attention to detail made a noticeable difference—especially on a day when many of us had full schedules. Her thoughtful contribution really exemplified what it means to be a team player. Thank you, Carol!”
