Tina Medland
Practice Manager
Tina joined our practice in April of 2021. She has 16+ years of experience in veterinary practice management and is currently pursuing her Certified Veterinary Practice Manager (CVPM) certification through the Veterinary Hospital Manager Association (VHMA). Tina is also a member of the Chicagoland Veterinary Managers Group and feels one of the best parts of this profession is working closely with pets and the people who love them.
Outside of work, Tina enjoys reading, paper crafting, and traveling with her husband and dogs. She also co-owns/breeds and trains her three generations of Golden Retrievers for both obedience and conformation. She currently has three dogs, Winnie, Banner, and Faith, and a cat, Albert. She is very proud to be working with a dedicated team of professionals that are like a second family… and glad to call Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation of Homer Glen (VSMR) her new home!
