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


This week, our appreciation is extended to Dr. Dielson Vieira who is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Basic Medical Sciences.  A colleague shared, “Dr Vieira brings the best attitude to everything he does. He is a bright light shining his kindness to all he comes across. Thank you Dr. Vieira for all that you do!”  This is a wonderful example of how simply bringing warmth and a kind presence to our roles can make a lasting difference across the PVM community.
