Hannah Leyrer grew up and attended high school in the Malvern area.  As a child she developed a passion for animal care as many in the veterinary field do – riding horses, saving all the stray cats and nurturing the random toads, baby squirrels and birds back to life.  Hannah attended college at Pennsylvania State University earning her BS in Biology.  After graduating, she planned to take a gap year working before pursing further schooling.  But instead she found a passion working as a veterinary nurse.   

Hannah has been a part of the VRC team since 2004 serving in a multitude of roles.  She worked many years performing anesthesia and then as a Client Care Coordinator for the orthopedics department.  When the opportunity arose to oversee and help develop the Emergency Department in 2013, she eagerly took the role as ER Nursing Manager. After two years, Hannah was promoted to Nursing Director.  In 2020, she accepted the position as Practice Manager where she works closely with the other managers to ensure the team that takes care of all the patients is well cared for.   The role as Practice Manager has been the most rewarding yet!   

Outside of work, Hannah spends most of her time with her husband and two daughters.  She enjoys being active in nature, spending time at the beach, gardening and snuggling her AmStaff, Brody. 

Lisa has been working in the veterinary field since 2006.  She moved from Texas to Pennsylvania in 2015 and started at VRC as a client services representative.  She is now the client services manager where she is fortunate to work with a great group of individuals who work hard to do their best for the patients and pet parents.

In her free time, Lisa enjoys being at home with her dog and 3 cats.

Holly Gambs is one of three Nursing Managers here at VRC. Holly specifically oversees VRC’s Outpatient/Specialty department. As a child, Holly always had a strong love for animals. She knew very young that she wanted to be in the Veterinary field, in some way shape or form. Holly is native to Dowingtown, PA and attended Downingtown West High School and obtained her Bachelor’s Degree from Harcum College. Holly started out her Veterinary career working in animal daycare/training, with a special interest in rescue. Fun fact: all of Holly’s pets at home are results of foster failure – thank you Holly for showing them tender love and care! Starting at VRC a decade ago, Holly worked her way up the ranks from Baby Nursing Assistant to an Anesthesia Nurse within the Surgical department to becoming a Nursing Manager.

Outside VRC, Holly spends her time with family and friends as much as she can. She lives with her husband and crazy 1 ½ year old little girl and 3 pitty mixes. As a family, they love being outside soaking up the sunshine. Holly focuses her time off around good company, great music and tasty food. Her life is crazy, but she wouldn’t want it any other way.
