Management Staff

Lynn Beals

Hospital Practice Manager

Lynn grew up in Massachusetts but came to love Maine during her many years teaching horseback riding at a summer camp in her youth. She graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a degree in English, but after spending many years as a stay-at-home mom, she decided to nurture her love of animals by joining our team in December 2010 as a receptionist. A few years later she was promoted to Lead Receptionist, then Assistant Manager and finally, Manager. She shares a home with her husband, 2 of 3 adult children, and their two cats; Babette and Tango. When not at work, Lynn enjoys spending time with her family, reading, sewing, singing, and photography.

Wasabi

Supurrrvisor

You MAY see Wasabi on a visit to our office; then again, you may not. Unlike his predecessor, Sushi, Wasabi prefers life behind the scenes and is reluctant to greet his adoring public. Although, on rare occasions, he has been known to give unsuspecting admirers a head boop when they’re not looking. He’s not a great supurrvisor to be honest and is asleep on the job most of the time, but we love him anyway. Wasabi enjoys stealing catnip pillows, burrowing under the couch cover in the cat room, hiding in cupboards at the end of the day so we need to execute an all-staff cat-hunt before we can leave, and rolling in things he shouldn’t roll in.

Sushi

In Memoriam

12/3/04 – 8/10/23 

We adopted Sushi in the fall of 2014 and he was an integral part of the life of the hospital for almost 9 years, earning the role of Supurrvisor. Sushi took his job very seriously and was loved by all, staff and clients alike, though maybe not by the dogs that he would routinely stare down in the lobby 😉 He could most often be found napping in his “Supurrvisor” basket on the counter, though he sometimes went into the treatment area to demand attention or treats. We all know cats don’t have owners, they have “staff,” but Sushi took this to a new level. Thank you all for loving Sushi as much as we did and appreciating his awesomeness. He will be forever missed.
