National Veterinary Associates

At NVA, we believe diverse perspectives make us stronger, so we work to build a place where everyone belongs and feels heard. That’s why we partnered with the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) on “Journey for Teams,” a pathway for veterinary professionals to deepen their knowledge of the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion.    “By fostering an environment where everyone feels empowered, we not only enrich our workplace culture but also elevate the quality of care we provide to our patients,” said Cheryl DeSantis, NVA’s Chief People Officer. “Our investment in initiatives like Journey for Teams reflects our commitment to ensuring equitable opportunities for all within the veterinary community." #DEI #Learning #VetMed #VeterinaryMedicine

Today is Pet Remembrance Day. 🐾🌈 At NVA’s I-20 Animal Medical Center, the team constructed a Rainbow Bridge Memorial Garden to help pet parents honor the pets they loved and lost. They encourage their clients and community to bring collars, name tags, and other mementos to the rock memorial. “We built this bridge and garden to help clients remember those precious four-legged family members gone way too soon from our lives,” said the team. “We hope this spot will bring them just a little bit of comfort during such a difficult time of grief and loss.” 📸: NVA’s I-20 Medical Center in Arlington, TX

NVA’s Larkin Veterinary Center and Conrad Weiser Animal Hospital were recognized by their local community for their outstanding internship program for young aspiring #vetmed professionals.      The program offers mentorship and support for high school and college students and helps them develop skills that set them up for a successful career in animal care. “These hospital teams have worked really hard to develop this program and have inspired their interns to pursue a career in our profession," shared Fawn Gechter, NVA’s Senior Operations Manager. 🐶🐮🐱🐰    📸: NVA’s Larkin Veterinary Center in West Lawn, PA, and NVA’s Conrad Weiser Animal Hospital in Womelsdorf, PA 

Last week we proudly celebrated our Managers of Regional Operations at NVA’s 2024 MRO Development Summit in Chicago. Our “MROs” are deeply embedded with our clinic teams, focused on their unique needs and helping them overcome challenges so they can deliver the best possible care.    To close the conference, we recognized 5 MROs who greatly embody our core values and go above and beyond for the hospitals they serve. Congrats to Kelli Nytes, Jason Davis, Fawn Gechter, Becky Freitas and Katrina Craig on winning our NVA Values Awards. 🎉 

👋 Say hi to Oliver, the newest team member at NVA’s Twin Maples Veterinary Hospital. At just 7-weeks-old he was promoted to their clinic cat team. 🐱 Talk about career mobility!    This cutie was abandoned at their practice, but Dr. Kim Burkhardt and team fell in love, bottle-fed him, and now he’ll be living and “working” at the clinic. And we’re here for every meow-ment!    If you’re interested in having a coworker like Oliver (or any of NVA's charismatic clinic cats), join our care teams: https://lnkd.in/gTaUQksJ       📸: NVA’s Twin Maples Veterinary Hospital in West Carrollton, Ohio     #NVACommunity #VetMed #VeterinaryMedicine #OpenRoles

"Over 60 of her family, friends, and her Eagle family came out to support her. Pretty sure we took up a whole section!! We are so proud of you and your fight Racel!” And we are immensely proud to have Racel in our #NVAcommunity.
