AAVLD Northeast Region Update

-         Craig Sarver, DVM, retired for the second time from the Ohio Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (ADDL). Dr. Sarver provided 32 years of service as a pathologist at the ADDL, retiring in 2022. He returned in a part-time capacity to provide continued pathology support and retired for a second time this past April. Craig is known for his expertise in poultry pathology, and the lab may ask him to come back in the winter if he isn’t busy touring all of the national parks.
