HAVE YOU NOTICED
WE’RE BUSY? Dr. Zoe Ball Arrives to Save the Day We are all very excited to introduce a new veterinarian who will be working alongside Dr. Clark, Dr. Corum, and the rest of the team: Dr. Zoe Ball. This new face might be familiar to some patients. Though Dr. Ball is a Florida native, she came to Montana last summer for an externship with The Animal Clinic of Kalispell. Her work ethic and personality made her a great fit during her brief time with us. Now that she’s graduated from the University of Florida, Dr. Clark didn’t hesitate to offer her a position at the clinic. Dr. Ball may be a new grad, but she’s been in the business for a long time. Her parents are both veterinarians, and she grew up at their practice in Florida.
have a one-track mind, and if Dr. Corum needs me to help with tracking, then I’m going to become the best search and rescue dog ever!
Of course, it’s not all about being able to follow my nose and follow a scent. In order to really help out, I need to be able to get places fast. Sometimes, people get lost somewhere the rescue team can’t reach by truck. This means I might need to ride in a helicopter, on a snowmobile, on a jet-boat, and even on the back of a horse! I’ve already ridden on the snowmobile and ATV with Dr. Corum, but the horse is proving a bit more difficult. They haven’t let me on yet! But I’m sure we’ll get there. It’s been really hard work, and I still have a lot to learn, but I’m so happy I get to help! I’m still a puppy, but even I know it’s a big honor to work with North Valley Search and Rescue and the sheriff. I hope to be able to help a lot of people! -Johnnie
“It’s kind of funny to me,” Dr. Clark has said. “After having one parent as a veterinarian, my kids stayed as far away from medicine as possible. Dr. Ball was raised by two veterinarians, and she wasn’t scared off by the work. That shows dedication. I saw this during Dr.
Ball’s externship, and I’m confident she’ll channel
that dedication into quality care for our patients.”

been extra busy recently and it is so very important to us to have TIME with our patients. This is why we’re so glad to have found Dr. Ball so quickly.
Like so many members of the team, Dr. Ball is excited to move to Kalispell. She’s told us that she’s tired of the heat and humidity and looks forward to using her skills to take care of animals in her new home. Don’t worry — she already knows what winters are like here. With three veterinarians and the best staff in the business, our patients and clients are guaranteed the best possible care. Join us in welcoming Dr. Zoe Ball to the team! We know you’re going to love her.
