PVMA Keystone Veterinarian Fall 2020 - 32

Veterinarian of the Year Award: Dr. Robert H. Kraybill

This award is presented to a PVMA Member for a outstanding service in veterinary medicine
within the year in which the award is given. With 32 years of experience as a sole practitioner,
Dr. Kraybill has an unbelievable work ethic. He works in the sun, the rain, the snow, the ice, the
wind and the mud. He has saved countless equine lives due to his uncanny ability to continually
harbor an intellectual curiosity about veterinary medicine. Many nights he's awake studying
journals and periodicals in search of what may be ailing a patient. He tirelessly takes emergency
after emergency without relief. Central Pennsylvania is remarkably fortunate to have an equine
veterinarian of this caliber. He works hard for his clients. He is constantly learning and educating
himself, yet his decades of experience has proven invaluable and typically flies under the radar,
preferring a lower, more humble profile. Congratulations Dr. Kraybill on this well-deserved
award!

Distinguished Veterinary Service Award: Dr. Darcie J. Stolz

This award is presented to a PVMA Member who has demonstrated a lifetime of selfless
dedication to veterinary medicine, the health & welfare of animals, and the betterment of the
profession. This year's winner is Dr. Darcie Stolz. She has an amazing ability to balance being a
food animal business owner while maintaining associates and staff, a family, and volunteering in
multiple organizations. She's level-headed dealing with emergencies, practical in supporting the
veterinary community and passionate about the PVMA. She has spent many years volunteering
her time as a PVMA District Trustee, providing a food animal veterinary perspective to the
organization. She is well respected in her local community as a veterinarian and entered the
food animal industry when women were the minority. She paved the way as an associate and
went on to be a business owner. The dairy industry has changed so much over the years and her
business has survived multiple downturns of the dairy pricing and commodity industries. She
has reached many students, many clients and many veterinarians over the years as a mentor.
Congratulations Darcie!
