In Memory of our beloved hospital kitty Salem
Salem
Salem came to EPH on Halloween 2009. He was found behind the front driver’s side wheel of the Veterinarian on duty’s car. The Vet brought Salem inside to assess him, and he has been here until he was diagnosed with cancer in 2024. He lived 14 years and was the hospital mascot and feline blood donor. His memorial is in our lobby. He is missed and was loved by staff and clients.
