A surprise, intern class reunion at our “ANCHORed in Community” CE event last week!

Drs. Erica Mollica from Carroll Gardens Veterinary Group, Farrah Horowitz, and Tony Kahn were intern mates at The Schwarzman Animal Medical Center 20 years ago!

Now they’re leaders in NYC’s veterinary community! And still just as excited to learn new things together

THANK YOU everyone who attended last week’s “ANCHORed In Community” event with Torigen Pharmaceuticals!!!

This was Anchor’s 1st CE event in Brooklyn! Curious primary care teams from all over the city gathered at a favorite spot in our neighborhood near Anchor BK HQ. 🏠

TOPIC: How to collaborate with Torigen + Anchor’s mobile surgery teams to make cancer treatment more accessible for pets in NYC & Long Island! 💫🎯💯
~~~~~~~~

HOW DOES TORIGEN WORK?

🧬 Torigen makes affordable immunotherapy (personalized cancer vaccines) using the patient’s own tumor.

🧬 You can still use your practice’s go-to pathologist & oncologist if you’d like.

🧬 It’s 🆓 to send fresh tumors to Torigen (..NOT in formalin!). Samples are saved for up to 1 year to make into a vaccine if/when the pet’s owners choose to do so.

🧬 There is no downside to submitting a sample! And as Torigen receives more tumor data, they learn how to fight cancer even more effectively.
~~~~~~~~

WHY HOST EVENTS?
⚓️ Anchor hosts CE events like this because we feel it’s important for our veterinary community to be more collaborative, supportive, and symbiotic.

⚓️ We’re passionate about finding *practical*, effective solutions to surgical problems that are backed by clinical research.

⚓️ We want to share as much knowledge & resources as possible with Anchor’s community so that we can all achieve even better surgical results TOGETHER!

Last weekend, we roadtripped to Maryland to attend Mobile Veterinary Surgery’s annual social event for their referring veterinary teams.

What better way to kick off the summer than a baseball game with friends?!

We’ve been fortunate enough to see Dr. Betsy Arthur’s team several times this year! Both for fun & to learn about the latest advancements in surgery together!

It’s so wonderful to be a part of such a supportive, mobile surgery community! Thanks again for inviting us!

Dr. Allen Menasche’s team did a fantastic job hosting us for our 1st mobile surgery together! Their team truly is *so* kind!

We also had the pleasure of collaborating with our longtime partnering teammate Quisha at this visit!

Quisha has helped many practices grow & thrive. She was even featured for her work on the cover of Vet Candy recently! Awesome job, Quisha! You’re an inspiration for vet techs everywhere! 💫

Enzo is a 10 year old, intact female chihuahua mix who was rescued by Waggytail Rescue with a lemon-sized mammary gland mass and a chronic diaphragmatic hernia.

When she was rejected for surgery via the rescue programs at local specialty hospitals, Dr. Gagliardi referred Enzo to Anchor for mobile surgery at Cooper Square Veterinary Hospital as a Hail Mary attempt to help her.

Rather than perform a high risk, open chest surgery to fix the diaphragmatic hernia (a problem she may have always coped with), we focused on removing the mass so that Enzo would feel more comfortable and could enjoy a better quality of life.

Enzo’s mastectomy was an extremely quick & smooth procedure thanks to Dr. Kahn’s speedy surgical skills, an injectable anesthesia protocol, and the all-hands-on-deck efforts of the Cooper Square team. ✨⚓️💫

Enzo’s foster reports that she is doing fantastic at home and has been resting so much more comfortably without her mass getting in the way. 💞

Follow Waggytail Rescue for updates on Enzo and other rescue pups like her!
