PRINCE GEORGE —A veterinarian from Vanderhoof is set to star in a new television program on Monday, as she is part of a new show called Wild Rose Vets, which will air on APTN.

The show will feature an all-new cast of three Indigenous, female veterinarians in Western Canada as they navigate the ups and downs of helping animals in need while also exploring their rich Indigenous heritage and cultural ties.

Dr. Cori Stephen, is the owner-operator of Nechako Valley Animal Health Services in Vanderhoof, BC, the only mixed animal clinic for 100 kilometers.

“My love for animals and their people is what led me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine,” says Dr. Cori Stephen. “As a veterinarian working in a small town, every day is different – from the animals that come through our door to the logistical and medical challenges that I am presented with day in and day out. But, I wouldn’t have it any other way. This career takes dedication, patience, knowledge and a shared commitment to providing excellence in animal health care. It’s very rewarding to be able to contribute to my community in such a meaningful way.”
