Spectrum News has a story about a local vet who is loved in his community. Now when he is having a tough time, his community is there for him. Dr. Keith Clement has been a vet at Burnt Hills Veterinary for over 30 years. Earlier this year he contracted COVID and at the beginning of February he was admitted to Albany Med. His colleagues started a GoFundMe page which has raised over $46,000 for Dr. Clement. One of the co-owners of the practice, Dr. Emily Falls says the overwhelming response is really a testament to all of the lives he has touched. Falls said. “When you are a veterinarian, you don’t just care for animals. You care for those owners, as well.” A few days ago Dr. Clement was able to go home, but his recovery is expected to still take a few weeks.
