Staff Profile: Debby, Medical Assistant and Animal Lover, over 20 years at CRPA!
At Chestnut Ridge Pediatrics, we are fortunate to have a talented and dedicated staff that have spent many years with the practice.
Many of our patients will recognize Debby's smiling face, which has greeted families for over 20 years. Debby initially started at the practice as a medical assistant and now spends time both in direct patient care and at the front desk.
In addition to her many years at Chestnut Ridge Pediatrics, Debby has volunteered for over 10 years with multiple animal shelters/rescues, sometimes hands-on with the animals, and often helping at events and fundraisers.
Debby and her high school sweetheart/husband Keith, who supports her passion for animal rescue, have 2 dogs. Autumn is a beagle/American bulldog mix and Penny and is a hound mix. They also have 2 cats named Winky and Cole, and one outdoor cat that adopted them named Bree. All of their pets are rescued...from 4 different shelters!
Debby works primarily with Helpers 4 Shelters in Middletown, NY, but tries to help out numerous rescues. If you are interested in volunteering or donating, she suggests they can reach out to their local rescue.
There are thousands of innocent and highly adoptable animals dying every day in shelters. Pet adoption saves so many lives! Consider checking out www.petfinder.com to find your new best friend!
Kudos to Debby for her years of dedication to the welfare of our animal friends!
