Business Visit Spotlight: Lamczyk Veterinary Clinic 🐾

Our Jefferson County CEO students recently visited Lamczyk Veterinary Clinic, a trusted part of the Mount Vernon community for nearly 30 years.

During our visit, we heard from Dr. Jo Lynn Lamczyk and her husband Dr. Kevin Lamczyk, owners of the clinic, about the realities of business ownership. While being your own boss offers independence, it also comes with significant responsibility. One key takeaway was that veterinary school prepared them for medicine, not necessarily for running a business. Through continued learning and dedication, Dr. Jo has taken steps to grow her knowledge on the business side of their practice. They’ve even brought one of their sons on board to assist with handling the financial aspects of the business.

Students also walked away with a few simple but impactful reminders. A big smile goes a long way when working with humans. While technology has advanced significantly over the years, newer isn’t always better than tried and true methods. And longevity in business comes from consistency, care, and a genuine passion for what you do.

We appreciate Lamczyk Veterinary Clinic for investing in our students and sharing their experience as long-time small business owners in Jefferson County.
