New Compassionate Client Contact

Rachael Rail, a long-time member of the Hixson-Lied Small Animal Hospital staff, has been named as the new associate director of development in the College of Veterinary Medicine.

Rail’s primary assignment will be working with patients’ families and veterinarians in the Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center for the Compassionate Clients Program.

“We were really excited when Rachael approached us about advancing veterinary healthcare and education in a new way,” said Steven Hatting, executive director of development for the College of Veterinary Medicine. “Her frontline work with patients and veterinarians in the LVMC will provide incredible perspective as she helps grow the Compassionate Clients Program.

“Rachael is a pleasure to work with, and no one is more passionate about animal health and the communities we serve at the College of Veterinary Medicine.”
