Cliff Sporn, Team Leader - Bio

I graduated veterinary school from Michigan State University in 1982 after having received a degree in Microbiology and Public Health from MSU in 1977.  I am a small animal practitioner in a 2-veterinarian practice.  Our hospital was built in 1834 to serve as the local school for the children of the neighboring farms.  It served as a one-room schoolhouse and home for the teacher until the early 1900’s.  I have some clients and friends whose grandparents remember coming to school where I now practice.  In the late 1940’s the building became the office of a local veterinarian, Dr. Worth.  In 1961 the practice was sold to Dr. Fedorko. At that time the hospital took the name Schoolhouse Animal Hospital.  I joined the staff in 1984 and now own the practice and continue to work there with my associate, Dr. Furth.  

I joined the Rotary Club of Mount Holly, New Jersey, in 1986.  I served on the Board of Directors as Chair of each of the Avenues of Service and then as President of the club in 1999-2000.  In 2001 I was honored by being presented a Paul Harris Fellow.  I am currently chair of our scholarship committee which has been awarding approximately 24 $1000 scholarships to graduates of our local high school, Rancocas Valley Regional High School.

I have been a member of the New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association since moving to New Jersey in 1984.  I was elected Treasurer in 1993 and served in that capacity until 2003 when I was elected to President 2004-2005.

I am also involved in my local church, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, where I sing in the choir and currently serve as Warden.

With my wife of 35 years, Janice, we have 2 grown children.  We play golf and enjoy traveling.
