Nation’s First Veterinary Trauma Centers Identified

E381

VCA West LA

The American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care (ACVECC) has approved nine veterinary hospitals and clinics in the U.S. to be provisionally designated as Veterinary Trauma Centers in a new initiative designed to improve treatment outcomes of animal trauma cases. The Veterinary Trauma Center designation is part of an effort by the ACVECC Veterinary Committee on Trauma (VetCOT) to create a network of lead hospitals that will seed development of trauma systems nationally.  These hospitals will work collaboratively to define high standards of care and disseminate information that improves trauma patient management efficiencies and outcomes.

Animal Arts is honored to have designed three of these hospitals:

  • VCA West Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California
  • BluePearl Veterinary Partners – Tampa, Tampa, Florida
  • Tufts Foster Hospital for Small Animals at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, North Grafton, Massachusetts

To read more about the initiative and the hospitals designated see the note on our facebook page.

Weekend Reader

nudge-cat-poem

It’s been awhile since we’ve recommended a book, but this one was just too cute to pass up.

I Could Pee on this … And Other Poems by Cats by Francesco Marciuliano is an odd and delightful collection of poems that captures the thoughts and feelings of our favorite felines.  From odes to warm laps to dire verses on the perils of vet visits this book is sure to amuse.
