“A presentation about the positive impact of using mindfulness in the veterinary profession is planned for Tuesday, March 28, 2023 from 8:00 to 9:20 am as a part of the Dr. Jeffrey A. Sutarik Memorial Wellness Lectures series.  We are proud to welcome our presenter, Dr. Deidre Galbo, a small animal veterinarian in West Hartford, Connecticut, who is a graduate from the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine. She received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Purdue in 1999. She also has a B.S. in biology from Stonehill College. Dr. Galbo spent eight years as a senior clinician at Angell Memorial Animal Hospital-Western New England (formerly Rowley Hospital) in Springfield, MA and she was also the recipient of the G. Edward Cummings Compassionate Care Award. 

Dr. Galbo has been an active practitioner of mindfulness ever since immersing herself in training through the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course at Copper Beech Institute in 2015. She has continued her practice with the Deepening Your Practice program and has been volunteering at Copper Beech ever since. She feels strongly that mindfulness is imperative when dealing with the many emotions and stresses of veterinary medicine as well as in ordinary life and she has been leading mindfulness seminars and retreats for veterinarians and their staff since 2018.  The title of her presentation is, “Mindfulness Through the Eyes of a Veterinarian.” View here  http://www.kaltura.com/tiny/0k947
