Evie began her Greenfield career in 2001 as a receptionist then stepped into the role of office manager. She eventually became Greenfield Animal Hospital’s practice manager.

We are proud of her and happy to announce she’s been in remission since 2020.

Adding to the challenges, COVID caused a national shutdown of businesses during the acquisition. Despite these setbacks, Dr. Shencopp and Evie were able to finally fulfill a dream and make Greenfield Animal Hospital their own!

Evie is proud to say that Greenfield Animal Hospital is one of the last few independently (and women) owned veterinary hospitals in the area! This allows the doctors and staff to provide the level of medicine they believe to be of utmost importance.

She loves going to work every day and is so proud of each employee and their dedication to their patients.
