Debbi Runyan, LVT
My name is Deborah Runyan, but most just know me as Debbi. I grew up in Chelsea, Alabama, a small town around 30 miles south of Birmingham. I have been working at Alford Avenue Veterinary Hospital since November 2003. I graduated from Vestavia Hills High in 2005. After high school I attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to pursue a career in human internal medicine, all the while still working part time at Alford. There was a lack of fulfillment while attending UAB, and after much thought and support I decided to attend veterinary technician school at Jefferson State Community College in 2014. I graduated with and Associate Degree in Applied Science in December 2016. In my free time I enjoy looking for arrowheads, fresh water fishing, and playing disc golf. I also enjoy spending time with my son Kasen who was born in May 2018.

Kelli Steward
Receptionist
Kelli moved to the Birmingham area in 1996 from Minnesota. She had been a server for many years and decided it was time to do something she always wanted to, and that was to work with animals. Alford Avenue Veterinary Hospital had an ad for a receptionist, and the rest is history. She lives in downtown Birmingham now in a renovated car garage with her husband Stephen, his two sons, their grandparents, and 6 cats and her dog Jada who comes to work with her everyday.
