Philadelphia, PA, August 5, 2026 —

MEDFORD, NJ – Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge has appointed its first full-time veterinarian, Dr. Amanda Cameron, marking a significant development in the organization’s 69-year history. The wildlife sanctuary, located in Medford, New Jersey, has historically relied on external veterinary services to provide critical medical care for the thousands of injured and orphaned animals it rehabilitates each year.

The hiring of Dr. Cameron is a strategic move aimed at enhancing the quality of care and improving the survival rates of the animals treated at the refuge. Wildlife sanctuaries across the tristate area often face financial challenges that make it difficult to sustain full-time specialized medical staff. This new position at Woodford Cedar Run is intended to address this ongoing issue by bringing consistent, in-house veterinary expertise to the facility.

Dr. Cameron’s role will be crucial in providing immediate medical attention, diagnosing illnesses and injuries, performing necessary surgeries, and developing comprehensive treatment plans for a wide array of native wildlife. Her presence is expected to streamline the rehabilitation process, allowing for more timely interventions and potentially reducing the severity of complications faced by the animals under the refuge’s care.

For nearly seven decades, Woodford Cedar Run has operated without a dedicated veterinarian on staff. This new addition signifies a commitment to advancing the level of medical care offered and ensuring the best possible outcomes for the displaced and injured wildlife that depend on the refuge. The organization hopes this investment will lead to a greater number of successful releases back into their natural habitats.
