Dr. Josepha DeLay is retiring after 25 years’ service at the AHL. Josepha obtained undergraduate degrees from Dalhousie University prior to obtaining her DVM and DVSc degrees at the Ontario Veterinary College. Between her professional studies, she worked as a private veterinary practitioner in New Brunswick. Following brief stints as a senior resident in anatomic pathology at OVC and a surgical pathologist practice, she joined the AHL in 2000. Here, she worked diligently to start up the immunohistochemistry section of the histotechnology lab which she supervised for many years. Josepha managed the AGCO program and specialized in swine pathology which led to her tenure as the AHL pathologist on the OAHN swine network. She is highly regarded by all of the AHL clients that she served with her technical expertise, as well as the many pathologists that she mentored over the years. We wish her much joy, happiness and good health in her retirement. Congratulations Josepha!
