Cross-industry collaboration is one of the most important tools we have when it comes to addressing the most pressing challenges facing our profession. Today, we're honored to host the 23rd annual Pet Healthcare Industry Summit, bringing industry leaders and students together to create a more sustainable future for veterinary medicine. As part of meaningful discussions centered on access to care, environmental sustainability, and veterinary education, we announced: - A grant to Shelters United to address a critical need for U.S. pet rescues and shelters. The investment will enable a free, RACE-approved veterinarian of record (VOR) training to increase access to veterinary care for adoptable pets and make it easier for veterinarians profession-wide (including our Associates) to give back to their local communities. - Our founding sponsorship of the Veterinary Sustainability Alliance (VSA) to enable the development of new tools to help veterinary professionals industry-wide practice sustainable medicine. Check out the link below for details on these announcements and other key topics covered at this year's event. https://lnkd.in/gyjv7gk6 #PHIS2024 #sustainability #veterinarysustainability #veterinaryeducation #accesstocare #ABetterWorldforPets #ProudlyMars
