Drs. Colleen and Clark Bertagnolli
We are both graduates of WCVM, class of ’84. In 1987 we started a mixed practice in Rocky Mountain House. Clark developed the farm animal side of the practice, while Colleen’s focus was small animal. We raised two boys in our practice and for the most part, that doesn’t seem to have created too many psychological issues for them. Our initial involvement in CVM was fund-raising at the clinic for various projects and financial support. Through CVM connections, Clark made a solo mission trip to Peru into the Amazon. Together, we later became involved in an independent mission project through connections in Haiti. We traveled back and forth to Haiti for 6-7 years working on establishing a goat farm and goat give-away project for Haiti Arise. During this time we also taught Haitian vet agents through CVM. We have recently made two trips to Ethiopia with CVM and Hope Ethiopia.
