Northfield Veterinary Hospital recently welcomed a new veterinarian to their team amid the Coronavirus pandemic. Dr. Emily Roach is an Ohio native and graduated from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2010. Dr. Roach will take on the role of Medical Director bringing a passion for preventive care programs and early medical intervention to promote longevity and wellbeing of pets. Dr. Roach has already formed bonds with her support team and is excited to lead medical care for patients and great service for the clients of Northfield Veterinary Hospital. The veterinary team has new procedures in place including Curbside Concierge to help customers and employees stay safe.
Leadership roles are not new to Dr. Roach. She has recently completed her second term of President for the Cleveland Academy of Veterinary Medicine. She has also served as board intern for the American Association of Feline Practitioners and completed the Ohio Veterinary Medical Associations Leadership Program.
Dr. Roach also believes strongly in giving back to the community that helped to shape her. She serves as a board member for the Honors Health Science Program at her high school alma mater, Saint Joseph Academy. Within this role she feels privileged to be able to encourage young females in their educational and career pursuits within science and medicine. She has also earned the honor of being asked to serve a second term on the American Heart Association’s Stem Goes Red for Girls advisory board.
Dr. Roach believes healthy pets strengthen the human-animal bond and lengthen the time we get to spend with beloved pets in our families including her own. This is the case in her home, which she shares with senior hound dogs, a cat who also loves her dogs and a wonderful husband who embraces the belief that ‘pets are family’. Her passion for pets has led her and the team to continue being available for the people and pets of Northfield during this crisis when people are spending more time with their furry loved ones and even bringing more pets in to their homes.
Northfield Veterinary Hospital is a small animal practice located at 10545 Northfield Road, Northfield, OH 44691.
