Dr. Tart, raised in West Tennessee, attended veterinary school at the University of Tennessee prior to moving to rural Illinois where she worked for two mixed animal clinics. She has since moved home to Blue Goose with her husband Dustin, their son Oliver, their two dogs Lucille & Clyde and their horses. Her hobbies include spending time with her family & animals and taking road trips. Dr. Tart's professional interests include preventative & internal medicine as well as farm calls - especially when there are heelers or 'smoosh-faced' dogs involved.

Candace is a Hardin county native, and has been with the clinic since 2014. She enjoys assisting with advanced surgeries and loving on all of the patients. She has a wonderful husband named Jon, brilliant son named Jon-Parker, and a house full of rescue kitties. Her hobbies include spoiling Jon-Parker, going to concerts, and jamming out to Dave Matthews Band.

Bridgette graduated from the University of Tennessee at Martin and is our only licensed veterinary technician. Raised in Chester County, she has grown up with animals and always desired to work in the veterinary profession. She enjoys Tennessee football, traveling and cuddling with her Boston Terrier.

Jacob has been with HCAC for 6 years and serves as both a veterinary assistant and receptionist. While we love having him here, don't expect to see his face too much! He is currently enrolled in nursing school. When not studying or working, he enjoys spending time outdoors and with his two dogs & two cats.

Jenny is a West Tennessee native who has spent the majority of her life in the veterinary profession. She has a strong love of greyhounds and 'smush-face' cats as well as the beach. Don't worry - Jenny won't be leaving us for the sand & sun any time soon!
