cated in the Veterinary Practice Marketplace in Hall A&B.

Dropping your ticket at the MVMA booth also means you’re

ABOUT DANA MESKE

Seventeen years ago, Dana Meske

put her roots down at Parkway

Small Animal & Exotic Hospital as

a kennel assistant. Now, as the

practice group’s CAO (Chief Ad-

ministrative Officer), she finds daily

fulfillment in playing a part in the development of

the practice groups team. Dana decided to pursue

a yoga teaching certification a� er she felt a strong

correlation between the benefits of practicing yoga

and relieving the stress associated with the many

flavors of emotion that encompass the day-to-day

environment of veterinary medicine. Being able to

build this yoga platform for her team and to share

it with others is a dream come true.

Other wellness ideas for you

■ Post something you’re thankful for on the Gratitude

Board outside the Veterinary Practice Marketplace.

■ Take a few moments to color on our big coloring

boards.

■ Take a walk outside and get some fresh air.

■ Take some cleansing deep breaths to relax and clear

your mind.

■ “Give back” by donating to the Greater Lansing Food
