Since 2017, 15 facility additions and renovations have been made to the hospital, including several updated specialty service suites, as well as the opening of the Advanced Veterinary Surgery Center, the Meadowview Foundation Dentistry and Oral Surgery Center, the Equine Lameness Pavilion, and an expanded small animal Emergency Room/Intensive Care Unit.
The hospital treats more than 50,000 animals a year.
Additionally, there are more than 20,000 submissions made to the hospital’s laboratory, pharmacy, farrier, and other ancillary services. View the current prospectus.
