Happy Bosses’ Day to our amazing hospital leadership!

Today, we’re taking a moment to recognize two awesome leaders! We’re so thankful for Megan, our hospital manager, and all the work she does to help keep our hospital running smoothly and support our team. We’re also grateful for Dr. Widmann, our medical director, for her dedication to our patients, our team, and the care we provide every day. Thank you both for all you do!

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.

This sweet girl was found wandering along Murphy Road, and we’re hoping to help her find her way home! She has no tags or microchip, but she’s wearing a flea collar, so we suspect someone is missing their girl.

Please reach out to us at 615-383-4241 if she belongs to you, or share this post to help us spread the word!
