Additional growth plans from the VHS Executive Leadership Team include a primary care facility and educational complex, which are in early development. Other components of the master plan include evolution of the current small animal VTH into a tertiary care clinic and the development of indoor and outdoor spaces that support a greater sense of community and wellbeing. The Associate Director of Equine Clinical Services is expected to play a significant role during this exciting next phase of growth, with the opportunity to significantly impact our future direction and will be critical in maintaining the premier reputation of Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences as a top-tier institution.
