Nancy Bell Practice Manager  Nancy and her husband Joe moved to Vermont in 1990 from “The City”, New York City that is. Nancy began her animal related career there working for the ASPCA. Shortly after arriving in the Green Mountain State, she landed a job at GMAH and here she has remained until this day (fortunately for us!) Having held every job possible from vet tech, to receptionist, to surgery tech and finally to practice manager, Nancy has proved to be an irreplaceable member of our staff. Along with her husband Joe, she shares her small Vermont farm with Toulouse, a very mellow and loyal VFD (Vermont Farm Dog) who is named after Toulouse Lautrec. The famous 19th century French painter was known for his short legs, as is Toulouse the dog. He is Nancy’s constant companion. Rounding out the family is a CATastrophe named Niles – an orange tabby who loves to spend a winter day chasing snowflakes.

Bethany Hathaway Lab Manager  I graduated from VTC in "98 with an associates degree in animal science. I traveled around a bit until I finally landed here at GMAH in 2005, and I've never been happier. I live in South Hero with my 3 cats - Phoebe, Simon & Dexter. We love it out in the islands! It's so peaceful & beautiful. I love being a vet tech. I get to care for, love and smooch on animals all day, and I wouldn't have it any other way! I am proud to be a member of the GMAH staff. We are a talented group, and I feel we offer a very high quality of veterinary medicine to our clients & patients. It makes me feel good to think I might have made a difference in an animal's life, or hopefully, at least a better experience at the vet's office.
