Local Veterinarian Is Named Top Dog

TEMPLE TERRACE – Link Welborn is the American Animal Hospital Association’s Practitioner of the Year.

Welborn, a resident of Carrollwood, has practices in Temple Terrace, New Tampa, south Tampa and Town ‘N Country.

‘Becoming involved in organized veterinary medicine, in particular the American Animal Hospital Association, is the best decision I’ve ever made,’ he said. ‘While I’ve put countless hours into association work, like many volunteer leaders in our profession I feel I’ve gotten far more out of it.’

The AAHA is an international organization of more than 32,000 veterinary care providers who treat companion animals.

Its purpose is to provide medical care resources and consultants to help each practice meet the organization’s high standards of excellence, according to the AAHA Web site.
