Meet Our Staff
Cindy
Sandefer, RN, MBA
Hospital Administrator
I grew up in rural southeastern
Connecticut in a town called Preston (located near Foxwoods Casino).
I spent all my free time with my best
friend “Missy” a registered quarter horse. I was very involved
in 4-H and ballet classes. My dancing efforts lead me a scholarship
at Texas Christian University. At the completion of my first year I
realized dance was not my calling and returned to New England. Several
years later I found myself working at Cornell University for the Dean
of Veterinary Students were I met Dr. Dave and let’s just say
the rest is history.
In 1987 I received my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from Utica College
of Syracuse University. After working for several years in nursing,
I decided to join the practice full time. Feeling unprepared to help
in the growth and development of a veterinary practice, I returned
to school once again. I earned my Masters in Business Administration
from the University of Connecticut in 1999.
I enjoy my work at the SRAH
very much. It is a great experience working with such a talented
mix of doctors and support staff. My role involves
strategic planning and analysis. I work towards gathering the
resources to fund the needs of today and prepare for the visions
of tomorrow.
I am intricately involved in such areas as; budgets, cash flow
management, pension planning, marketing, and management meetings.
The quality of
medical care your pet receives and the level of client service
we deliver, are the most important things to me. We appreciate
the support of our
loyal clients. My job is to manage the resources our
clients have allowed us to have.
I still have a great passion
for quarter horses. After 32 wonderful years with my best friend “Missy”, I have had to acquire
some new 4-legged friends “Tug”, “Tess” & “Bucky”.
I have had the privilege
to show at a nationally competitive level and this has helped
me grow enormously on a personal level.

can serve you better, or you have a comment you would like to share
