Veterinary Medical Director

Kalamazoo – Emergency Veterinarian Medical Director

WHO WE ARE:

Emergency Veterinary Care Centers (EVCC) is a rapidly growing group of emergency veterinary clinics with 5 locations across the Midwest. Our mission is to continue to expand into and support communities who need us the most—where pet owners don’t have access to 24/7 vet care.

We believe in providing exceptional, around-the-clock care—because emergencies don’t just happen between 9-5.

WHAT’S LIFE LIKE AT EVCC?

At EVCC, we genuinely care about whoever walks through our door—whether it be a sick pet, their parent, or one of our own team members.

We’re a veterinarian-led company that truly values the perspectives and leadership of our DVMs. Started by 36 area general practice veterinarians—the majority of whom remain involved with EVCC today—we’re proud of the collaborative environment that exists in all our locations.

Because let’s face it; while emergency veterinary care is an exciting and fulfilling field, it’s not easy. That’s why we take extra special care of our team members through continuing education opportunities, promotion possibilities, and a supportive work environment you can be proud of.
