Emily Kalenius, DVM
Chief Medical Officer and Owner
About Emily
Since then, she has partnered to design, recruit, and execute the startup of two other Wilvet emergency clinics — Salem and South.
Her professional interests include, emergency medicine, cardiology, internal medicine and mentorship of new graduates.
As a longtime Pacific Northwest resident, Emily enjoys an active, outdoors lifestyle. After running collegiate cross country in Santa Barbara while completing degrees in Biology and Chemistry, she has since naturally gravitated towards trail ultramarathons and mountaineering. Calling Corvallis, Oregon home, she now enjoys backpacking and hiking with her two daughters and husband, and skiing in the winter.
