Our Care Team

Bill was born in Chicago, Illinois, and started his veterinary career as an assistant at Lake Shore Animal Hospital in 1971. In 1975 he started working at Blum Animal Hospital in Chicago. He came to work for Animal Health Associates in 1996. Known for his perceptive animal handling skills, Bill has been successfully wrangling dogs and cats for over four decades. An ex-biker and Italian food lover, he enjoys the blues and all kinds of animals.

Josh moved to Oregon in 1996 to escape the Iowa winters, summers, springs, and falls of his youth. He flipped burgers at McDonald’s for 3 months before getting hired as Animal Health Associate’s first-ever male receptionist. Having worked for a vet in Iowa, he had the required experience to challenge the state boards when AHA needed another CVT in 1998. He became our fourth CVT at the time. He spent a few years at another hospital in town, but came back to AHA in 2007, and has been here ever since. In April of 2020, he was promoted to Hospital Administrator. Besides veterinary medicine, his passions are singing, playing music, sim racing, and making goofy faces at his wife and kids. He has a mischievous cat and a even more mischievous dog.

After moving to Oregon as a young child, I grew up on a 20-acre ranch on the outskirts of Eugene. My family owned a travelling petting farm and horseback riding center so I was constantly around animals growing up. I spent most of my childhood riding horses, tending to the animals, and befriending any stray cats that would show up on our property. Around age eleven I started to bring home sick and injured animals to nurse them back to health, which drove my parents crazy. I have the world’s sweetest black lab named Zeke; a spicy, special needs black cat named Ed, two kittens Lola Marie and Theodore who are foster fails, and two senior horses named Whinny and Buttons. In my free time I enjoy fostering kittens for local rescues, drawing, working out, flow arts, yoga, and spending time with my pets and boyfriend.

Kate started her career in the veterinary field in 2018 where they studied Animal Science with an emphasis in Equine. Throughout her years of schooling, she worked in multiple large animal vet clinics, specializing in reproductive care. Kate started her journey here at AHA in 2023, quickly finding a love for the small animal world. Most of her free time is spent with her partner and her three dogs, Bruce, Sweets and Rebel. She also has 2 full size horses, a mini Donkey properly named Diablo, a menagerie of chickens and goats, and a mischievous kitty named Johnny Cash.

Kimberlie grew up on the Southern Oregon Coast. Kimberlie comes from a family of Cattle ranchers and Cranberry farmers; she has loved working with animals her whole life and was a member of 4H. Her love for animals started with the family dogs, and cats. Her first pet was a cat named Aqua, she graduated to working with horses and raising swine. Kimberlie has always known that she wanted to work in the animal industry. Kimberlie moved in 2016 to Eugene with her partner Santiago, where they adopted their first dog Angie, a retired racing Greyhound and their sassy cat Cranberry. In her free time, she enjoys playing and collecting retro video games and listening to vinyl records.
