Vanderbilt Health Pets of the Day: Bowie, Ruxin, Alice and Francesca

Summary: Vanderbilt Health is celebrating some furry friends in their latest "Pets of the Day" feature. Jenessa Miller from the Health IT department shared three dogs: Bowie and Ruxin, who are Australian Shepherds, and Alice, an Australian Mountain Dog. Jeffery Fizer from the Quality, Safety, and Risk Prevention team introduced Francesca, a Shih Tzu. These pets were chosen from hundreds of entries in a photo contest. If you work at Vanderbilt and want your pet to be famous, keep an eye out for the next contest announcement later this year.
