Veritas Veterinary Partners Announces Strategic Growth and New Leadership to Elevate Veterinary Care
Veritas Veterinary Partners, a prominent player in the specialty and emergency veterinary sector, is on a mission to enhance veterinary care across the United States. The company recently disclosed significant advancements in its strategic growth objectives, including the appointment of seasoned executives and expansion of its hospital network.
As part of the company’s commitment to deliver high-quality veterinary services, Veritas has prioritized the hiring of experienced leaders to strengthen its organizational structure. Notably, Dr. Thomas D. Scavelli, the Founder and Chief Medical Officer, will continue to play an integral role in guiding the medical aspects of the company. Joining him in leadership are Kenny Gardner as CEO, Stu Bachelder as COO, Elizabeth Simmons as CFO, and Nikki Rogers as CHRO. Each of these leaders brings a wealth of experience from their diverse backgrounds in human health care, veterinary practices, retail, and operations.
Veritas has made substantial investments to enhance its facilities, reflecting its ambition for growth in veterinary emergency care and specialty services. Recently, the company opened two new advanced hospitals in California—one in Tustin and another in San Rafael. The Tustin facility, covering 10,000 square feet, is equipped with advanced surgical capabilities, including a 128-slice CT scanner and multiple surgical suites, to provide superior surgical care. Meanwhile, the 28,000-square-foot San Rafael hospital is designed for complex and critical cases, boasting a state-of-the-art intensive care unit and dedicated chemotherapy treatment space.
Additionally, Veritas has established five satellite emergency hospitals in key locations, including two in the Denver area and three in northern New Jersey. This expansion of emergency care facilities underscores the company's commitment to making specialized veterinary services more accessible.
Another cornerstone of Veritas’s strategy is attracting top veterinary talent across various specialties. The company is actively recruiting board-certified veterinary specialists to ensure the highest standard of care in areas such as oncology, cardiology, internal medicine, and critical care. This focus on hiring exceptional talent is part of a broader strategy to deepen the expertise available within the organization, thereby improving patient outcomes.
Kenny Gardner, the newfound CEO, expressed enthusiasm about the company's trajectory. He remarked, "The investments and developments we have made in the past year position Veritas for exceptional growth. Our goal is not just to be a leader in veterinary care, but to redefine what veterinary service entails by cementing our reputation for quality and compassion."
Founded in 2021, Veritas Veterinary Partners has grown rapidly, transitioning from a single referral network to nearly 200 specialist and emergency veterinarians nationwide. Their commitment to personalized care and a mission-driven approach has resonated with pet owners and veterinary professionals alike.
