The new 7,000-square-foot clinic is an up-to-date facility, complete with rooms for exams, X-rays, surgery and recovery, according to Zoo Veterinarian Dr. Ben Okimoto. It allows medical staff to keep sick animals away from those in for routine examinations, and it provides separate space for small mammals, birds and reptiles. The dedication included speeches by Mayor Hannemann, City Director Sidney Quintal, the Zoo Society's Sharon Weiner and Dr. Okimoto.
