Vet Tech Appreciation Spotlight: Meet Savanna! 🐾

Originally from Arkansas, Savanna’s passion for marine life inspired her to study biology in college and has taken her to some incredible places—including Costa Rica, Hawaii, Los Angeles, and now the fabulous Florida Keys! 🌊☀️

Savanna is currently applying to veterinary school, and we couldn’t be more proud of her as she works toward this exciting next chapter! 💙

In her spare time, she enjoys scuba diving, running, and spending time with her tabby cat, Isla. Their story began when good Samaritans brought Isla to IHPH after finding her injured along US 1 in Key Largo. With Savanna, Isla found a loving forever home. 🐱💕

Thank you, Savanna, for your compassion, dedication, and the care you bring to our patients. We’re so grateful to have you in the IHPH family!
