Margie Wertman (Office Finance Manager) 

Marjorie (Margie) Wertman was hired in October 1989, one month after the hospital opened.  Having many responsibilities over the years, she is currently working part time as the Office Finance Manager- handling accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll duties.

Margie says, "I believe each team member on staff, in their own unique way, is dedicated to giving 110% to helping people one animal at a time".

On the flip side of work, Margie loves summer weekends of camping and boating at Lake Raystown with her husband George and their sweet little Cavapoo, Lindi.  Margie is known to her Grandson's Mason and Grant as well as her Great Grandchildren Emma and Joshua as Mimi, and she loves spending time with them.
