NORFOLK, Va. For every end to every journey, Dec. 30 marked the end of Dr. Ron Hallstrom s illustrious professional journey.
Since 1979, Dr. Hallstrom has treated four-legged patients at Ghent s Dog & Cat Hospital, taking over the practice himself in 1987, a community staple in Norfolk for more than 70 years. His work is widespread, from treating family pets in the community to responsibilities like taking care of the Norfolk Police Department s K-9 unit and narcotics dogs.
Wednesday marked Dr. Hallstrom s last day, retiring after more than 40 years at the hospital, open since 1937.
