Office Manager
Dana (Donna) started her work with animals by volunteering at various animal shelters as a teenager. In April 1994, Dana began working as a receptionist/technician at Adair Gardens Pet Hospital in Belleville, Illinois. Upon Dr. Martin’s retirement in 2005, Dana continued her career with Hawthorne Animal Hospital. During her tenure in animal medicine, Dana has had the pleasure of serving in various roles including client relations, management and veterinarian technician. In July 2018, Dana joined the staff at Heartland Veterinary Hospital as the Office Manager.
Dana is married to James and has four beloved “fur” babies of her own. Tonka is an eight year old Shepherd/Collie mix, Dash and Violet are three year old Pit/Catahoula mixed breed litter mates, and Ruffian, a long-haired Dachshund, is a retired show dog. When not working her dream job at Heartland, this self-proclaimed Disney addict loves traveling (especially to Orlando!)
