DeWitt Animal Hospital - Our Staff

Jane Hill - Business Manager

While raising 3 (now adult) children, Jane began working at the hospital part time in 1992. She works from home performing numerous behind the scenes duties as business manager of the hospital as well as providing daycare for grandchildren.

Jim McGrath - Practice Manager

Jim joined the DeWitt Animal Hospital Team in 1982 as a part time kennel assistant. Never one to shy away from learning new tasks and excelling at them, he quickly became a valuable asset to the Hospital.

As our Practice Manager, he is the senior staff member as well as our Inventory Manager, Equipment troubleshooter and more. It has been said that “Jim has been here forever” and “he knows everything”. Of course, he’ll be the first one to say “no one knows everything”. However, with his years of experience performing various duties throughout the hospital, he is the one we call on frequently due to his extensive knowledge, as he can fill in many areas.

If you have a question, Jim almost always either has the answer or knows where to find it.
