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.

In honor of VCA's 40th anniversary, VCA Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Julia Georgesen, sat down with Dr. Beth Mollison on the Clinicians Brief Partner Podcast to reflect on the profession's most transformative shifts — and what's coming next.

From hand-developing X-rays to anesthesia simulation software, this conversation covers it all:
🐾 The evolution of pain management as a clinical outcome
📊 Preventative care shifting toward predictive medicine
🤝 Team-based care and empowering credentialed technicians
🧠 Why the future belongs to those with not just IQ and EQ — but AQ: adaptability quotient
💬 Heart-centered communication and what clients really remember

Welcome to Mozart Monday!
We have a brand new associate and his name is Mozart. As you can see, he is being trained for multiple job duties. He is learning to assist in our pharmacy, in reception and with doctor duties, including typing up records. He does have some difficulty with answering phones but we think a headset will be all he needs ;) He reports directly to his mother, Dr. Sidney Beecy. He truly is the best boy J

Tuna hasn’t been coming to work as much since she is getting older and has some medical issues. However, she was very busy yesterday assisting Dr. McDermott 😊

Each one of these receptionists plays a vital role in client service, scheduling and patient care. They are often the first and last point of contact for pet owners.
Please take a moment to thank our front-desk staff for their compassion, patience, and dedication. We have a large poster board inside our lobby this week. Come on in and write something to brighten their day!

Long overdue post!
We want to take a moment to thank all of our generous clients that gave so selflessly, to shelter pets this season. We are endlessly grateful for your donations to Techs for Clefts, Bay Path Humane Society and the Worcester Animal Rescue League. Special thanks to Kayla, here at VCA Abbott, who orchestrated the Angel Tree to help these organizations. The pictures do not even reflect the total amount donated. It exceeded any of our expectations.

We are planning to open at noon Monday, 1/26. We are still watching the weather closely. There is still a chance that we may have to open later than that.
Stay safe out there!

Tuna wants to make sure that you all know we will be closing at noon today. Tuna is on the couch with the remote, but she is worried about anyone out on the roads and not home with their pets.
Please call before coming in tomorrow as it is highly likely that we will not be opening on time.
Stay safe and warm, friends!

Congratulations to Danyell on her promotion to Technician Supervisor!
Danyell has been with us since 2016. She started as a kennel/technician assistant and worked her way up to a veterinary assistant, to a surgical tech, to the lead tech and now supervisor. She will lead a large group of amazingly talented and caring technicians. All of Danyell’s hard work and dedication has paid off! We are so proud of her :)
