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 demonstrating how much we value our patients, teammates, communities and world. Not only do our hospitals play a critical role in this work, but also we’re fully invested as an organization in following through on our shared commitments.
Values in Action is our way of guiding how we make a difference. By acting on our values, we’re building something stronger than any one of us.
Every patient is unique, and so is the care they receive. Our commitment to our patients extends beyond medicine, supporting both pets and the people who love them.
Every patient is unique, and so is the care they receive. Our teams bring together advanced clinicians and specialists across a wide range of disciplines, ensuring access to exceptional treatment when it matters most.
But our commitment to our patients extends beyond medicine. We help patients feel as comfortable as possible through species-specific wards and thoughtful workflows that minimize stress. We also support pet owners with resources like grief support groups and financial assistance, because exceptional care means caring for the whole experience.
Caring for pets also means caring for the people who love them. That’s why Pet Emergency & Specialty Center of Marin facilitates a Pet Loss & Grief Support Group for pet parents who are at various stages of sadness.
Compassionate care at our hospitals extends beyond superior medicine. One such example is the angel fund at Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital that supports clients facing financial hardship.
We're focused on ensuring patients feel safe and supported 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. 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 collaboration. Just as importantly, we have built an environment where ideas come from every level and follow-through matters.
We are also proud that in a profession largely made up of women, our leadership reflects that reality, with strong representation at both the hospital and executive levels.
At Veterinary Surgical Specialists and AVSG Internal Medicine, Emergency and Critical Care, creating a strong team is just as important as the quality of care provided to patients. That’s why teammates are actively building new ways to foster engagement.
Women drive strong leadership at every level of our organization. At Las Vegas Veterinary Specialty Center (LVVSC) and Veterinary Emergency + Critical Care (VE+CC), that leadership shapes how care is delivered and teams are supported every day.
Garden State Veterinary Specialists Eatontown has partnered with a social worker to host sessions for teammates and clients on needed topics like navigating grief and compassion fatigue.
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.
Beyond our hospital walls, our teams volunteer, support local events and partner with community organizations to improve animal welfare. It is how their compassion and generosity becomes action in the communities we serve.
Community partnerships mean showing up in the moments that matter most. For years, the Pet Emergency & Specialty Center of Marin team has worked closely with Guide Dogs for the Blind, providing care to more than 500 dogs.
At Las Vegas Veterinary Specialty Center and Veterinary Emergency + Critical Care, supporting the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is deeply engrained in the work these teams do.
The Greater Staten Island Veterinary Service team partners with the District Attorney’s Office, ASPCA and NYPD to support investigations and care related to animal cruelty cases across the borough.
The team at Garden State Veterinary Services Woodbridge is proud serve their community by providing care for stray, abandoned, rescue and shelter animals, many of whom have complex medical needs.
The team at AVSG Internal Medicine, Emergency & Critical Care is proud to support the vital work of the Search Dog Foundation by preparing search dogs so they are healthy and ready for the demands of the job.
We aim to protect the environment while providing exceptional care. Across our hospitals, we prioritize practical ways to reduce waste, conserve resources, recycle, repurpose equipment and operate more efficiently.
As we continue to grow, we are committed to finding new ways to operate more sustainably while maintaining the highest standards of care. We believe exceptional medicine and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.
At Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital, exceptional care includes minimizing our impact on the world we share. This is why the hospital is LEED-certified, a designation that reflects a deep commitment to environmental sustainability.
Textiles are one of the fastest-growing waste streams and take years to break down in landfills. At Garden State Veterinary Specialists Eatontown, the team works with Helpsy to help keep these items out of the trash.
