Oxbow Animal Health has announced Dr. Jennifer Graham as the recipient of the 2021 Oxbow Exotic Mammal Health (Quest) Award.

Dr. Graham, who serves as Associate Professor of Zoological Companion Animal Medicine at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University, was presented with the award at the 2021 ExoticsCon conference in Nashville, Tennessee at a reception in her honor in September.

“Dr. Graham is an exceptional ambassador for the exotic veterinary medicine profession and we are so honored to recognize her with the 2021 Oxbow Quest Award,” said Dr. Micah Kohles, Vice President of Technical Services & Research at Oxbow Animal Health. “In addition to her accomplishments as an educator, researcher, and veterinarian, Dr. Graham is an exceptional human being. Her humble nature, kindness, thoughtfulness, and graciousness form a legacy all their own – a legacy that’s perhaps more important than work in any field. Jennifer is a tireless champion of the work of others, but she is equally tireless in her support of the people behind the degrees, the research, and the letters after the name.”

“I am so very grateful to be honored as the recipient of the 2021 Oxbow Quest Award (Oxbow Exotic Mammal Health Award),” said Dr. Graham. “Thank you to the Oxbow Animal Health family for such a magical celebration. The outpouring of love I received from all of you will be forever treasured!”
