Happy National Sterile Processing Technician Week! We've been posting a lot about Vet Tech Week, but did you know it is also Sterile Processing Tech Week? These dedicated healthcare professionals work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure our operating rooms are clean and sanitized, and instruments are prepped and ready for any surgical procedure. Their crucial role in maintaining a safe and sterile environment can sometimes go unnoticed by the public, but their contributions are invaluable. Thank you for all you do!

Happy Vet Tech Week, Day 3! We wanted to do something a little different today to celebrate our incredible veterinary technicians. Enjoying hair tinseling and tarot card readings was a fun way to relax for a few minutes. After all, saving lives can be serious business, so it's important to take some time to unwind and have a little fun! Thank you to DyAnne with Fairy Hair Sparkle and Portlandia Fortune Tellers for joining us today! #hairtinsel #techweek #bridgetownvet #tarot

Today is World Rabies Day. Every year on September 28th, we join the global community in raising awareness about rabies prevention. This deadly, yet preventable, disease claims over 59,000 human lives annually. Rabies is a zoonotic disease (transmissible between people and animals) and is most commonly contracted when a person is bitten by an infected animal. 99% of all human cases in the world are the result of an exposure to a dog with rabies, making canine vaccination crucial to ending this epidemic. Let's work together to eliminate this deadly disease! For more information on Rabies and what you can do to help, please check out: The Global Alliance for Rabies Control (https://lnkd.in/gJCA57Z). #rabiesawareness #vaccines #rabiesalliance #Bridgetownvet
