Every surgery starts long before the first incision. It starts with a veterinary technician who has spent years mastering their skills, anticipating needs, monitoring vitals, and showing up fully prepared for every patient who comes through the door.

Vet techs are the heart of every OR team, and their skill and dedication make a difference every single day. At some VCA specialty hospitals, we take surgical collaboration even further. Some of our teams include Certified Surgical Technologists (CSTs) — professionals who earned specialized degrees specifically to support surgeons in the OR.

The result? Less time under anesthesia. Better outcomes. And a team that truly works as one. 💙

Because every patient is somebody's pet — and they deserve nothing less than the best.

VCA Eagle River will be a checkpoint sponsor for two of the Suburban Challenges by Healthwise this summer! Thursday, July 9th and Thursday, August 13th! The Suburban Challenge run events are similar to a scavenger hunt! At 6pm SHARP on the night of the run, Healthwise will post a list of participating businesses on our Facebook and Instagram pages and unveil a map in the Healthwise Care Center parking lot (start and ending location of the event). The participants then run or walk to that business to pick up a raffle ticket.
Participants will have one hour to reach as many checkpoints as possible to collect their tickets.
At 7pm SHARP, participants will return to the Healthwise parking lot to put their tickets in for the
drawing for prizes donated by the participating local businesses!
