Dec 10
It's no secret access to veterinary care has become a major hurdle. Traditional shelter staffing models can’t meet growing medical needs. This session on December 10th at 3pm CT explores creative, flexible veterinary relationship models and practical approaches — such as telemedical support, shared-care networks, and more — to help you expand access, reduce bottlenecks, and improve outcomes even in resource-limited environments.
