As a values-driven organization, we recognize we have a responsibility to make a meaningful impact both in and out of our hospital walls. Our social impact platform, Values in Action, is how we bring that commitment to life.
Through this platform, we'll hold ourselves accountable to the care we provide to our patients, teammates, communities and the world around us. Not only do our individual hospitals play a critical role in bringing this work to life, but also we’re fully invested as an organization in following through on our shared commitments.
Our Values in Action Platform is our way of guiding how we evolve, lead and make a difference. By acting on our values, we’re building something stronger than any one of us.
We support our patients’ people with resources like grief support groups and financial assistance, recognizing that exceptional care means caring for the whole experience.
Every patient is unique, and so is the care they receive. Our teams bring together some of the most advanced clinicians and specialists across a wide range of disciplines, ensuring access to advanced treatment when it matters most.
But our commitment to our patients extends beyond medicine. We ensure our patients feel as comfortable as possible through things like species-specific wards and workflows that minimize stress. We support our patients’ people with resources like grief support groups and financial assistance, recognizing that exceptional care means caring for the whole experience.
Caring for pets also means caring for the people who love them. That’s why at the Pet Emergency & Specialty Center of Marin (PESCM), the team facilitates a monthly Pet Loss Support Group for pet parents who are at various stages of loss and grief.
Compassionate care at our hospitals extends beyond superior medicine. One such example is the angel fund at Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital (WRAH) .
Our teammates are focused on ensuring patients feel safe, supported and as comfortable as possible at every point during their visit, and the Greater Staten Island Veterinary Services team illustrates this perfectly.
Our teammates are at the foundation of everything we do, because when they’re thriving, our patients and clients do too. This is why we offer holistic benefits and foster a culture of continuous learning and true collaboration across disciplines. Importantly, we’ve built an environment where ideas come from anywhere – regardless of title or tenure – and where follow-through is viewed as a measure of success.
We’re also proud that in a profession largely made up of women, our leadership reflects that reality, with strong representation at the hospital and executive levels.

Our teammates are deeply compassionate and naturally generous, showing up every day with a shared desire to make a difference. That care extends to some of the most vulnerable animals in our communities, including shelter animals, rescue pets, guide dogs and working K9s. Our teammates provide the specialized care and support they need to heal, thrive and serve.
That same desire is on display beyond our hospital walls. From hands-on volunteerism to participating in local events and initiatives, our teams are actively engaged in the communities they call home. We partner with shelters and rescue organizations to expand access to care at affordable prices and work alongside local law enforcement to support animal welfare efforts. It’s how compassion becomes social action, making a difference where it matters most.

We aim to protect the environment while providing exceptional care. Across our hospitals, we prioritize practical, sustainable practices that reduce waste and conserve resources. Through recycling efforts, rehoming and repurposing equipment and incorporating energy-efficient solutions like auto shut-off lighting, we take action to show we care for our shared world.
As we continue to grow, we’re focused on building these efforts. We’re working toward identifying new opportunities to operate more sustainably while maintaining the highest standards of care. Delivering advanced medicine and being mindful of our environmental impact go hand-in-hand, and we’re committed to both.
