Summary
The Virginia Large Animal Veterinary Grant approval will allow Tidewater Equine Clinic to better provide essential veterinary care for livestock, poultry and equine species, by providing the funds to expedite the hiring of an additional veterinary associate and also to improve the clinic facility to allow for easier and safer haul-ins from outside our current practice territory. The recruitment of an additional veterinarian is vital for our clinic to expand its practice territory into the underserved Northern Neck counties of Lancaster and Northumberland.
