Realize Your Passion. Build Your Veterinary Career at VHA.
You entered the veterinary profession because of your love for animals and your deep calling to serve them. In an industry increasingly dominated by corporate practices, finding a privately-owned practice that offers both cutting-edge tools and a culture of genuine care for the people who make it all possible can be challenging.
We are redefining veterinary medicine with innovation and compassion. Our non-corporate, privately owned practice is nestled on a 10-acre campus in Winter Haven, FL. It features a newly opened 20,000 sq ft multi-specialty and 24/7 emergency hospital, alongside our 10,000 sq ft general practice.
We are currently looking for Veterinary Specialists, General Practitioners and Technicians to join our rapidly growing team.
Our Specialty Referral and Emergency Center
VHA’s Specialty Referral and Emergency Center opened its doors in June 2023! This 20,000-square-foot facility boasts some of the best doctors, support staff, and veterinary equipment, with the goal of elevating veterinary specialty medicine and emergency care beyond all expectations. Our center also offers a wealth of career and research opportunities for professionals who share in our vision of bending the arc of veterinary medicine.
Our team is conscious of the fact that, regardless of a pet owner’s circumstances, they always deserve veterinary care at the highest level. At VHA, we pride ourselves on approaching each case from as many angles as possible to find a treatment plan that will not only help the pet today, but also ensure they can live a healthier, happier life for as long as possible. We're not out to just treating symptoms, we're out to achieve the best possible outcome for every pet that comes into our care.
We’re committed to:
Accessible care that’s tailored to every pet at every life stage.
Kind, compassionate service that considers our clients’ needs and budget, regardless of circumstances.
First-class medicine and expertise that we would want for our own pets.
A creative, progressive approach to veterinary medicine to keep our four-legged patients healthy, happy, and healed for life.
