Holly Gambs

Holly Gambs is one of three Nursing Managers here at VRC. Holly specifically oversees VRC’s Outpatient/Specialty department. As a child, Holly always had a strong love for animals. She knew very young that she wanted to be in the Veterinary field, in some way shape or form. Holly is native to Dowingtown, PA and attended Downingtown West High School and obtained her Bachelor’s Degree from Harcum College. Holly started out her Veterinary career working in animal daycare/training, with a special interest in rescue. Fun fact: all of Holly’s pets at home are results of foster failure – thank you Holly for showing them tender love and care! Starting at VRC a decade ago, Holly worked her way up the ranks from Baby Nursing Assistant to an Anesthesia Nurse within the Surgical department to becoming a Nursing Manager.

Outside VRC, Holly spends her time with family and friends as much as she can. She lives with her husband and crazy 1 ½ year old little girl and 3 pitty mixes. As a family, they love being outside soaking up the sunshine. Holly focuses her time off around good company, great music and tasty food. Her life is crazy, but she wouldn’t want it any other way.
