Cindy, Hospital Administrator/Manager. Born and raised on the Northwest Side of Chicago, she lived in the City until 6 years ago. She now resides in the “Southland”. She shares her home with her youngest son, a very sweet geriatric dog, “Missy” and 2 adorable cats, “Payton” and “Jordan” (no Chicago connection there, huh?). Cindy also has a daughter and an older son who are grown with families of their own. That makes Cindy a proud grandma of 4 beautiful grandchildren! She has worked at Broadway Animal Hospital for nearly as long as Dr. Kasmersky and will celebrate her 19th anniversary this August. When not working, she enjoys time spent with family and friends, reading and listening to music and watching “da Bears”. “I love the fact that, even after all this time, each day brings something new, different and challenging!” |

Karen, Hospital Manager. I've loved animals my entire life and have had everything from a duck to horses. Presently my life is run by "Baby Kitty" and "Spanky", my two 9 year old female cats. When I began working with Dr. Kas at Broadway Animal Hospital 15 years ago, I felt like I found my second home. "My greatest reward is being able to share in the bond that our clients have with their pets." |

Alan, Veterinary Technician After a long and successful career in training and management, Alan switched gears and decided that working with animals was his real passion.

Alan has a 6 month old spaniel mix named “Cooper”, found abandoned in the neighborhood at just 2 months of age, who keeps him very busy. Cooper has become the new man in Alan’s life! “I never did mind about the little things." Bridget Fonda in "Point of No Return" |
