The association said LoMonaco, in her role with Scituate Animal Hospital, is responsible for wellness, medical, surgical, dental and acupuncture services, as well as trains and mentors colleagues and support staff to ensure an effective veterinary team.
LoMonaco takes the president’s role of the association at a time in which the field has experienced an unprecedented demand for services and a rising need for safety within veterinary health care teams, the association said.
“It is imperative that we continue to recruit and retain the best veterinary professionals for our state, ensure renewed patient-client-veterinarian relationships, support our local vets and, of course, deliver the best care possible to animals,” LoMonaco said in a statement.
