Dr. Case knows, after 20+
years in this profession, that veterinary medicine is not just about
the animals but about caring for the people with whom the animals
live and building relationships with those individuals. She feels
blessed to have been afforded the opportunity to come home to
Bartholomew County and make a life and living in the community where
she spent her formative years. |
