A Note From Dr. Marsico

It is with both sadness and excitement that I am writing this letter to let you know that, after 26 years, I will be leaving Del Ray Animal Hospital to pursue the next chapter in my life. My husband Gene and I will be moving to Calvert County Maryland to be closer to our growing family (expecting grandchild number four in November!) and to live a more quiet and low-key lifestyle outside of the hustle and bustle of the beltway. This is a deeply emotional decision for me as I have spent my entire adult life here in Alexandria with my Del Ray Animal Hospital family. My relationships with my coworkers, clients and of course my patients have been an integral part of my growth and development as a veterinarian. I will miss all of you and your furry family members more than you can imagine.

When I joined the practice under the mentorship of Dr. Farrell in 1992, we were a small practice nestled among the homes of a “ transitional” neighborhood. I have seen the practice and the neighborhood grow to become a beautiful part of an amazing community , and I feel lucky to have been a part of it. I am grateful for all of you and am confident that I am leaving you in very capable hands. My last day will be August 16th and a casual happy hour style farewell celebration will be announced. I hope to see you there!
