ACCC Founder and President Stephanie Correa, DVM, Board-Certified in Medical Oncology, recognized several key team members, including Sheri Impemba, Senior Manager of Medical Operations, for her 20 years of dedication. Dr. Correa praised Sheri for her essential role in shaping ACCC’s culture.
Amber Impemba, a radiation oncology technician and medical oncology nurse, was also celebrated for her 20-year tenure. Dr. Correa commended Amber for her continued professional growth and contribution to ACCC.
Senior Business and HR Manager Annemarie Kosarek and Senior Manager of Medical Operations Paulina Huerta were honored for 15 years of service. Dr. Correa highlighted Annemarie’s crucial role in managing over 100 employees and described Paulina as the “heart and soul” of the organization.
“Thank you all for your service, your deep commitment, and dedication to ACCC all of these years,” concluded Dr. Correa, as she recognized many additional employees whose longevity at ACCC spanned 10+ years. “It has truly been a remarkable journey full of HOPE, and I could not be more grateful than to be on this journey with you–it is truly one of the greatest joys of my life.”
ACVIM Forum
ACCC was once again proud to be a part of the annual ACVIM (American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine) Forum. The 2024 event was held in Minneapolis, on June 5-8. ACCC sponsored the June 5 Specialty Symposium on Oncology, where Dr. Stephanie Correa delivered the opening remarks and Dr. Evan Sones co-presented on “The Future of Veterinary Oncology.”
The world’s largest veterinary specialty organization, ACVIM provides veterinary specialist accreditation in five areas, including oncology. The Forum serves as a premier platform for sharing advancements and research in veterinary internal medicine, ultimately enhancing clinical practice and animal health.
Founded in 1973, ACVIM is a trusted leader in veterinary education, discovery, and excellence. Today the organization has 3,700 members and is committed to advancing the field of veterinary medicine through continuous innovation, education, and fostering a community of dedicated members.
VCS Annual Conference
ACCC once again participated in the annual Veterinary Cancer Society (VCS) Conference, which was held in Orlando on October 17-19, 2024. More than 700 specialty veterinary professionals dedicated to advancing the field of oncology gathered for the event.
Our booth, which included a Disney-themed gift basket drawing, was a popular gathering place.
Many of our doctors, nurses, and technicians participated in the workshops and learned about advanced diagnostic techniques, treatments, and trends in veterinary cancer management.
We enjoyed the opportunity to connect and share with fellow oncology professionals.
ACVS Summit
For the second year in a row, ACCC was proud to be a sponsor of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) annual Surgery Summit, which was held October 24-26, 2024 at the Greater Phoenix Convention Center.
The event brings together leading veterinary surgeons, specialists, and researchers. Because surgery is critical in the treatment of so many cancers, we support the advances in surgical techniques, technology, and practices that ACVS facilitates.
We participated in this important event to remain current on the latest medical developments in veterinary medicine.
