PRN Pharmacal Celebrates Veterinary Technicians

On February 4, 2026, PRN® Pharmacal, renowned for its innovative treatments for chronic conditions in pets, proudly honored Cassidi Hoffman, the inaugural recipient of the PRN Veterinary Technician Award. This award was presented during a special breakfast at the Veterinary Meeting & Expo (VMX) held on January 18, 2026.

Hoffman, who works as a veterinary technician at Mountain Veterinary Hospital in Washington State, was recognized for her exceptional dedication and clinical excellence. The award was officiated by Amanda Eklund, Practice Manager, who extolled Hoffman's commitment to animal health and her significant role in supporting veterinary teams.

Hoffman expressed her gratitude, stating, "It's an honor to be recognized for doing a job I love. This award highlights the invaluable contributions of veterinary technicians and underscores the importance of a supportive work environment." Her heartfelt remarks reflected the gratitude shared by many professionals in the veterinary community.

The PRN Veterinary Technician Awards program, launched in 2025, aims to acknowledge the vital yet often overlooked roles technicians play within the veterinary field. Awardees receive a $500 Visa® gift card to further their education, attend conferences, and enhance their professional skills.
