HISTORY
The story begins with Dr. David Hopkins (Cornell ‘30), who in August of 1931 opened Hopkins Veterinary Clinic at his residence on Laurel St. in Brattleboro, VT.
Eventually the clinic took the name “Windham Vet Clinic,” moving to Putney Rd and servicing Brattleboro, VT and surrounding towns. The hospital provided veterinary care for both large and small animals.
In 1982, the clinic expanded and divided. “Green Mountain Bovine Clinic” was the newly established large animal hospital, while Windham Vet Clinic remained in Brattleboro and continued to see small animals.
Fall 1982
The clinic has cycled through few owners in it’s near 100-year history, with Dr. Gerard “Gerry” Scanlan (Cornell ‘64) and Dr. Judith Lohmann Scanlan (Cornell ‘63) as owners from the mid-60s through 1981.
Dr. Michael Tom “Tom” Ray owned the clinic for a decade, selling it to Dr. Stephen Major (Tufts ‘89) in 1991.
In November 2026, Dr. Dayna Locitzer (Cornell ‘20) purchased the business in effort to continue to offer care for the farming community in the tri-state area under the name “Green Mountain Farm Veterinary Services”. Associate veterinarian for the clinic from 2020-2024, Dr. Dayna takes over ownership with a strong knowledge and respect for the area and the local farming community.
