Athens News Matters: Veterinary Services and Covid-19

With social distancing and other safety guidelines, veterinarians are coming up with innovative ways to balance safety and compassion in their practices.
 
Dr. Benjamin Brainard is the Edward H. Gunst Professor of Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care as well as the Director of Clinical Research at the UGA College of Veterinary Medicine Hospital, and Dr. Denise Weaver is a practicing veterinarian at Companion Animal Hospital. They sat down with us to discuss what owners can expect when visiting their practices.

Chris Shupe began work at WUGA as a part time weekend announcer in 2010. At the time Shupe was focused on maintaining a thriving career in Real Estate, as well as balancing his time as a local entertainer. Shupe may be best known as The Athens King, a tribute to Elvis Presley, which often included an 8 piece show band! In 2012, Shupe joined WUGA full time as the station’s Morning Edition Host and Assistant Operations Director, and after 2 years of serving in that role Shupe was hired as Program Director for the station. As PD, Shupe spearheaded a return to more involvement in national conferences and continuing education opportunities through industry professional organizations like the Public Radio Program Director's Association, Public Media Development and Marketing Association, Morning Edition Grad School, the NAB, and the Public Media Journalists Association. This involvement led Shupe to undertake a comprehensive market study in 2015, the first such examination of local audience trends in more than 15 years.
