The Missouri State Museum and Daniel Boone Regional Library will host a Missouri Trailblazers virtual program at 1 p.m. Tuesday to learn about the work of Dr. Suzanne Saueressig, the state s first female veterinarian.
Honored as Woman Veterinarian of the Year in 1972, German-born Saueressig is credited with the progression of Missouri s Humane Society City Headquarters clinic, which is one of the Midwest s largest veterinary practices. A lifelong advocate for ending animal suffering and pet overpopulation, Saueressig was a pioneer for bringing awareness to these problems and improving surgical methods.
