Hannah Evergreen, DVM Dr. Hannah Evergreen is a 2004 graduate from Oregon State University, College of Veterinary Medicine. She has loved, cared for, ridden and trained horses for most of her life; horses are her passion. Before becoming a veterinarian, she gained experienced as a veterinary assistant and a farrier. After graduation from veterinary school, Dr. Hannah worked as an associate veterinarian, then started her own mobile practice based out of Monroe, WA in December of 2004.
With the start of her practice, she began the journey of discovering what taking a 'holistic' approach really means. Well on her way now, she has become certified in veterinary acupuncture (2005) and certified in animal chiropractic (2006). She is not yet sure what 2007 holds, likely more continuing education to expand her knowlege of other holistic modalities, such as herbology and physical therapy.
For Dr. Hannah, environmental and social stewardship are key to having a successful holistic veterinary practice. She has reduced her dependence on fossil fuels by using Biodiesel as much as possible to run her vet truck and routinely uses recyled paper products and tries to minimize medical wastes. She enjoys giving talks to local 4-H groups and other community organizations and supports approved local horse rescue groups with discounted veterinary services. She takes time to network with animal advocacy groups on important horse related issues such as ending horse slaughter and improving animal welfare.
On a more personal level, Dr. Hannah lives at her woodland farm in Monroe, Washington with her husband ( Dr. Brad Evergreen ) and her many dogs, cats and horses. She enjoys hiking, biking and of course, riding.

Kelsey has been with Dr. Evergreen since Spring 2006. Back then Kelsey was a working student, volunteering her time with Dr. Evergreen to enhance her equine knowledge. At that time Kelsey was a student at Sky Valley Education Center and also participating in the Veterinary Assisting Program at Sno-Isle Technical School. Kelsey has since graduated from high school and the Veterinary Assisting Program and works with Dr. Evergreen regularly.
In the Fall of 2008 Kelsey will begin massage school, just another stepping stone to her future in an equine related career. Kelsey is 19 years old and has been involved with horses since the age of ten. Not only riding, grooming and loving… but also volunteering her time with local equine rescue groups. Kelsey has a great passion for all animals; she has two of her own horses as well as a beautiful black Labrador and 4 cats.
