‘It was really diffi cult to say goodbye.’ Keizer
Long-time
Keizer vet
retires
BY MATT RAWLINGS
Of the Keizertimes
For more than three de-
cades, Dr. Kim Girouard has
been a staple of the Keizer
community.
Girouard has worked and
co-owned the Keizer Vet-
erinary Clinic — now Vet-
erinary Centers of America
— since 1985 and was instru-
mental in developing the dog
park at Keizer Rapids Park.
He also has been a Rotarian
for over 30 years and even
served as a president from
1996 to ‘97.
But earlier this month, the
good doctor decided to hang
up the stethoscope and enter
into his next stage of life: re-
tirement.
For many people, retire-
ment is something to greatly
look forward to. But for Gi-
rouard, it was a challenge to
walk away from his practice.
“It was really diffi cult to
say goodbye,” Girouard said.
“I still think maybe if some-
one needs someone to do a
surgery, that I would be an
on-call surgeon.”
“It’s been harder than I
thought. Being a vet really be-
comes part of your identity.”
Girouard fi rst gained a pas-

Dr. Kim Girouard had been working as a veterinarian in Keizer
for more that 30 years before announcing his retirement in April.
sion for animals when he was
a kid growing up in the Mid-
west. During the summers, he
would visit his grandparents
in Wisconsin and spend time
with the animals on their
farm.
That passion eventually led
him to the city of Corvallis,
where he attended Oregon
State University and was a
part of the schools fi rst medi-
cal school graduating class in
1983.
“I love science and I just
love being around animals
and working with people,”
Girouard said.
Girouard fi rst came to
Keizer in 1982 to do his ex-
ternship at the vet clinic. Af-
ter graduating and working in
Vancouver, Wash., for a couple
years, Girouard accepted a
full-time position at the clinic
in 1985.
“I didn’t ever want to live
in a big city,” Girouard said.
“I’m a small town person and
Keizer just had the right feel
that I was looking for.”
Eventually, Girouard be-
came the co-owner of the
clinic.
“Back then, that was pretty
much how you did it,” Gir-
ouard said. “If you were going
to join the clinic long term,
you kind of were expected to
own part of the practice.”
The clinic eventually got
sold to VCA in the summer of
2018, but Girouard continued
to work until early-April.
But being a vet wasn’t
enough for Girouard. He
wanted another platform to
serve in, which is why he
joined Rotary in 1986.
“I knew that I just wanted
to do more for the commu-
nity and give back,” Girouard
said. “I wanted to do more
than just have a job and I
thought Rotary was a good
fi t for me.”
One on Girouard’s biggest
impacts as a Rotarian was his
role in bringing the dog park
to Keizer Rapids Park — a
deal that was fi nalized in 2008.
According to Girouard, the
idea was initially created by
former Keizer City Council
member Richard Walsh after
a rotary meeting.
After talking to his part-
ners, the Keizer Veterinary
Clinic provided a large dona-
tion, which ended up being
crucial to having the dog park
come to fruition.
“It gives people a great
place to go play and run with
their dogs,” Girouard said.
“The only time I haven’t seen
it being used is when it’s rain-
ing sideways. Otherwise, there
are people there all the time.”
Girouard was also instru-
mental in building of the
Keizer Rotary Amphitheater.
“It’s all about what the
needs are. What does our
community need? What do
our kids need? What do the
people that live here need?
And then Rotary does what
needs to be done in order to
make that happen.”
Girouard and his wife, Su-
sie, plan to sell their house in
Keizer in the coming months
and move to Arizona to be
closer to family. Their son,
Ryan, lives in Los Angeles..
And their daughter, Micki,
lives in Arizona. Girouard’s
granddaughter, Suzanna, also
lives in Arizona and is work-
ing as a veterinarian.
While he will enjoy be-
ing in a warmer climate and
spending more time with
loved ones, Girouard will miss
the town where he spent the
vast majority of his adult life.
“Keizer has been so good
to us,” Girouard said. “It has
been a great place to work
and raise my family.”
Quick
Lane
expands
Skyline’s Keizer Ford is
expanding their Quick Lane
Tire and Auto Center by add-
ing two car racks. The expan-
sion will add more workable
space for employees.
The company has contin-
ued to have a growing cus-
tomer base, and the added
space will help to maintain
service quality.
Jennifer Bernard, a service
advisor who has worked at
Skyline Ford for 15 years said,
“We are very thankful for the
customers we have and that al-
low us to expand.”
The expansion should fi n-
ish within the next month.
Quick Lane is located at 3555
River Road N.
