Roanoke, VA, April 09, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The Virginia Veterinary Medical Association (VVMA) has announced that Dr. Jesse A. Webster is the 2014 recipient of the Paul F. Landis Veterinarian of the Year Award. Presented in honor of former VVMA and American Veterinary Medical Association President Dr. Paul F.

Webster has been in veterinary practice in Vinton, Va., for more than 40 years.
