Maurene Sutton is a current owner of CCAE. She, along with Shannon and Dr. Vanous, purchased the hospital in May 2022. Prior to that, she worked in general practice for 15 years. She went to Virginia Tech and received her BS in Animal and Poultry Sciences in 2003 and received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in 2007. She moved to Carroll County after graduation and was predominantly working on dairy cattle and transitioned into small animal general practice after 5 years. She has always enjoyed urgent care/emergency medicine and is so happy that she now has the opportunity to work at CCAE and provide emergency services for the community and local general practices. She hopes to grow the practice and be able to offer overnight/continued care for our clients. When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with her family. She is married to Jeff and has 3 children - Jillian, Lucy, and Waverly. They love to hike, explore the woods and local creeks as well as play with their French Bulldog named Ralphie. She enjoys country music, cycling, reading, and wine tasting.
