Meegan Ritchie graduated from the University of Wisconsin Madison School of Veterinary Medicine in 2001. She joined the Center Hill Veterinary Clinic family in the spring of 2002. Growing up on a dairy and horse farm in southwest Wisconsin cultivated her desire to become a large animal practitioner. Her passion for horses began at age three thanks to a chubby Shetland pony. She continues to indulge in the wonderful addiction both at work and play. She enjoys the day-to-day challenges of equine and bovine ambulatory service. Such a diverse working environment has led to special interests in neonatal care, internal medicine, and soft tissue surgery. One of the best parts of her job are the relationships she develops while helping people help their four-legged friends.
Meegan lives in Darlington with her supportive husband Lucas. He has been very understanding about late-night phone calls, offensive laundry, and unusual requests for assistance. They share their home with a dog named Porter and two cats, Ryder and Louie. In her free time, Dr. Ritchie enjoys the thrill of barrel racing and the challenges of three-day eventing.
Dr. Ritchie is a member of the American Veterinary Medicine Association, Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Association, and serves on the Wisconsin Equine Practitioners Foundation Board [citation].
