Dear El Sobrante Veterinary Hospital Clients,
It is with a heavy heart we must share very sad news with you. Dr. Lisa M. Franck, owner of the clinic, and my sister, unexpectedly passed away the morning of September 24. We have temporarily closed the practice as we take time to mourn this huge and tragic loss. Please know Dr. Franck loved all her patients very much and considered her employees and clients her extended family. I was very close with my sister and heard many stories about her furry friends and the joy they brought to her far too brief life.
Our goal is to continue the practice, but there will be some legal and adminstrative details to be worked out. We intend to bring in a veterinarian who can take over care of Dr. Franck's patients at the same level of quality and dedication to her patients she provided. However, to be compliant with the regulations for Veterinary Medicine, we will be limited on the services we can offer for a short time until we can achieve that. We will do our best to keep you informed as we move forward.
In this time of grief, one of the many challenges we are facing is we need to find loving homes for the rescue kitties Dr. Franck left behind. As you may know, her life's purpose was to save as many as she possibly could, and she was hugely impactful in that goal. In honor of her memory, please consider reviewing El Sobrante Veterinary Hospital's Petfinder Page, and if you can provide a loving home for one of these amazing kitties, please reach out to us at [email protected]. We are grateful to our rescue coordinator, Erica, for all she has done and is doing to support the rescue animals and she will work with you to find a new family member that is perfect for you.
Thank you so much for the support you have provided to El Sobrante Veterinary Hospital throughout the years and during this difficult time.
Sharon Franck-Wheeler and the entire El Sobrante Veterinary Hospital family.
