Oklahoma Veterinarian
of the Year and Other Top
Honors Awarded at OKVC

By: Hayley Eberle

Each year during the Oklahoma Veterinary Conference hosted by the Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA)
deserving individuals are honored for their hard work, dedication, and contributions to the field of veterinary medicine.
Nominated by their peers and voted on by a committee, awards are given in the following categories: Corporate Industry
Representative Award, OVMA Volunteer of the Year and Veterinarian of the Year.

The Corporate Industry Representative Award was established to honor an individual who is consistently providing exceptional
service to Oklahoma veterinarians and promoting the profession through liaisons with the OVMA and veterinarians. The 2020
award went to Laurel Klotz, from Newcastle, OK. Laurel is employed with Midwest Veterinary Supply (MVS) and has been
involved with the veterinary industry for over 16 years. She started her path in the industry by working as a veterinary assistant
during nursing school and during her time as an assistant she found her true calling. After graduation Laurel worked as a
registered veterinary technician (RVT) and practice manager for nearly 12 years.

Klotz joined the Midwest family five years ago and, in that time, she has successfully partnered with and managed equine
exclusive, mixed animal, food animal, and companion animal accounts. In 2015 she was honored with the “OSR Rookie of the
Year” award but she didn’t stop there. In 2017 she won the MVS Presidents Club award and in 2017 and 2018 she earned the
MVS Dennis MacDaddy McFarland Equine Top Sale Award for her region. She also sits on the advisory board for Murray State
Colleges’ Veterinary Technology Program, is a member of Oklahoma’s Network for Veterinary Practice managers, and most
recently was asked to join an advisory board with local equine veterinarians as they team up to start an initiative that will elevate
the experience veterinary students receive when networking for internships, post-graduation job placement, and enhancing
their skill sets

Earning the honors of OVMA Volunteer of the Year was Dr. Gary Stone,
from Chandler, OK. This award honors an OVMA member who has
shown outstanding contributions to the OVMA by actively serving
in a leadership capacity and by supporting and advancing organized
veterinary medicine, increasing public awareness through their works
or actions, and is also active in their community. Dr. Stone has been an
outstanding example of that in his many years of general veterinary
practice where he cared for both large and small animal clients. But his
dedication to the profession doesn’t end there, throughout all his work
he has led by example for younger practitioners and those who have ever
met him know his interest and promotion of veterinary medicine is a

role he takes very seriously.

In recent years he has directed his efforts to serving the people of Oklahoma as a staff veterinarian at the Oklahoma Department
of Agriculture. However, it is his untiring efforts with the OVMA’s most visible public relations effort, the Oklahoma City State
Fair and the Tulsa State Fair, that made Dr. Stone a clear choice for this award. He has spent countless hours preparing for the

Volume 35 • Issue 1 | SPRING 2020 | 9

live animal exhibits to be delivered and ensure they are cared for both nutritionally and medically while they are at the exhibits.
It hasn’t been uncommon for him to spend the entire night at the exhibit to assist and facilitate in the delivery of healthy
newborn sheep, goats, and pigs and it always done with a smile. Dr. Stone has been an active member in OVMA and has served
on the Board of Directors for two terms and on several committees.
The Veterinarian of the Year Award honors an OVMA member who has contributed to the advancement of organized veterinary

medicine on the local, state, regional, or national level. This honoree has
demonstrated outstanding compassion and achievement in advancing
the welfare of animals and contributed to community, practice,
education, research, or regulatory services. The honor of 2020 OVMA
Veterinarian of the Year was awarded to Dr. Rosemarie Strong.
Dr. Strong, from Oklahoma City, OK, graduated from Oklahoma State
University College of Veterinary Medicine (OSU CVM) in 1989 and has
practiced small animal medicine at Memorial Road Pet Hospital for the
past 23 years. During this time, she has also served in many high-profile
capacities such as American Veterinary Medical Association delegate,
OVMA Treasurer, and OKC District Director. She currently serves on the
OSU-OKC Veterinary Technician Board and the OSU CVM Board.
Known for the enthusiasm and leadership she brings to all her community service projects, from church groups to volunteering
at her kids’ school while they were growing up, to her current involvement with the Mabel Bassett Prison Dog Program, Dr.
Strong has proven time and time again she has no problem stepping in and helping where she is needed especially in the world
of veterinarian medicine. Her talents and dedication haven’t gone unnoticed and Dr. Strong has acquired numerous accolades
throughout her time in college and her career. During her time in college she won numerous awards such as Who’s Who in
College of Veterinary Medicine and the College of Veterinary Medicine Leadership Award. After college she received the OVMA
President’s Award from Dr. Larry Woods, and the OVMA Companion Animal Practitioner Award.

AVMA REPORT

Hello fellow OVMA members. In January the AVMA House of Delegates
met in Chicago during the Veterinary Leadership Conference. Below are
highlights of the conference.

Our Veterinary Information Forum consisted of the following topics:
Volunteer Liability, Telehealth, and Cannabis. The topics were sent to
committees with the following recommendations made:

• Volunteer Liability - the AVMA Board of Directors will work on forming a has
tool kit for practitioners to refer to as each state
various laws/ regulations regarding this area.

• Telehealth - the AVMA will continue to offer guidelines regarding
Connected Care.

• Cannabis - no action taken at this time.

There were four resolutions that were passed by the House of Delegates:

• Technology in Vet Med - Two policies were combined that addressed the use technology, including biotechnology, in
veterinary medicine and animal agriculture and innovative technologies in development of drug, vaccines and diagnostic
modalities. The AVMA believed the two existing policies should be made as one.

• Cribbing in Horses - A variety of devices have been utilized to prevent horses from cribbing, including hog rings. The
AVMA condemns the use of hog rings or other devices placed around the teeth to prevent cribbing in horses. These devices
are detrimental to the welfare and health of the horse due to the potential to cause persistent pain, damage to the gingiva,
periodontal disease and abrasive wear to adjacent teeth.

• Declawing of Domestic Cats - the AVMA discourages the declawing (onychectomy) of cats as an elective procedure
and supports non-surgical alternatives to the procedure. However, the AVMA respects the veterinarian’s right to use
professional judgment when deciding how to best protect their individual patients’ health and welfare.

• Microchips - It became evident that the current version of the policy had become very cumbersome, including the title
and had evolved into a Standard Operating Procedure. It is recognized that there are valid reasons to scan new patients
and regularly scan existing patients, however, dictating in policy the precise situations, frequency, or procedure of such
scanning may impinge on, or conflict with, state laws regarding property ownership. For example, if a veterinarian has
already established a VCPR with a new client/animal, then discovers that the animal has a microchip of which the owner
was unaware, the requirements and ability of the veterinarian to attempt to notify anyone about this situation is likely
limited due to the existing VCPR.

It is always a privilege to serve you, the Oklahoma practitioner, and represent our great state. Please feel free to contact myself
or Dr. Mike Jones with questions, concerns, or topics.

Thank you,

Rosemarie Strong, DVM

TECH TALK

Let me start off by saying OKVC was a blast! We all learned a lot and met so many new people! I also wanted
to thank everyone who had a part in putting this year’s convention on, it couldn’t have turned out any better.
I know we all are excited to see where this year leads us, and I can’t wait!!

As always OVTA holds our annual meeting at the OKVC convention on Friday night, we were excited to
see new and returning faces at our meeting. During our meeting we elected new officers. Those officers are
as followed; Past President Christen Puckett- Smith, President Taylor Carruth, Vice President Shiloh McGee and Secretary/
Treasurer Carola Morrison. This new executive board is going to do great things and if at any time that you have any questions
please feel free to get a hold of anyone of us.

At this time, I would like to announce the scholarships and awards that were given out during the convention. So, I’m going to
start off with our Veterinary Technician of the year award that was given to Sarah Sultan from Neel Veterinary Hospital. Our
Lifetime achievement recipient was awarded to Pam Crabtree. Also Christen Puckett-Smith gave out two President awards the
first going to Paul Berg who is our amazing web master for OVTA. Her second award went to her mentor and co-worker Debbie
Reed. On Saturday at the members breakfast Taylor Carruth awarded Kendall Sanford from Murray State College with the
Oklahoma Veterinary Technician Association Scholarship.

During convention we were able to hear from some amazing speakers. They were able to teach us anything from how our
different personalities can work better with some than others, all the way to the best way to position your exotic animals while
taking radiographs in your clinics. The diversity of the speakers is always great, and it didn’t disappoint this year either.

We can’t wait to see everyone next year!
