Experience island life on Lake Washington
With Mt. Rainier to the south, Bald Eagles overhead, and Seattle only 6 miles away, Mercer Island is community with a small town feel despite being in the middle of the vibrant Puget Sound region! Excellent schools, 475 acres of beautiful parks, a friendly community, and 50 miles of hiking trails make Mercer Island a highly sought-after location for families and young adults. Located in the center of Lake Washington, Mercer Island is connected to Seattle and Bellevue via a bridge and is one of the top suburbs to call home in the U.S. If you’re looking for a place with amazing weather, small beaches, beautiful homes, abundant outdoor activity, short commute times, and the friendliest neighbors, Mercer Island might just be the place for you!
Dr. Marshall’s influence on the veterinary field and commitment to mentorship
Dr. Gary Marshall is a past-president of the Washington State VMA and serves in the House of Delegates for the AVMA, as a Board member for the Women's Veterinary Leadership Development Initiative, and is part of a joint AVMA/AAVMC Advisory Group of the Commission for a Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive Veterinary Profession. As an adjunct professor for Washington State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Marshall hosts 4th year students at Island Cats during clinical rotations and is often asked to share his expertise at WSUCVM and national CE events. Additionally, he ensures our hospital participates in clinical trials advancing nutritional and pharmaceutical knowledge for the care of future patients. All this combines to create the best facility for feline patients to receive care, and for newly graduated veterinarians and experienced veterinarians to receive top quality mentoring and to thrive in their careers.
