The UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the new Advanced Veterinary Surgery Center. This state-of-the-art facility is set to fully open in April 2024, providing top-notch veterinary surgical care to more companion animals and breaking new ground on surgical innovation. With three operating rooms, a radiology suite, and other advanced features, we aim to reduce wait times for surgeries, train more veterinary students, residents, and fellows, and foster collaborative research opportunities across UC Davis.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, the Surgery Center's equipment is presently fully funded, and gifts toward capital can be matched up to $40M through an anonymous donor sponsor.
