Highlands Animal Care, a PAWS Health Partner

We believe in treating people (and pets) well above all else. We believe in quality. And we believe in being open-minded and adaptable as a means to improving the world around us.

We believe that by embracing diversity, creating equity, being inclusive, and keeping a growth mindset we can build a rockstar team that really shakes things up.

Our “Why” boils down to this:

People who enter the veterinary world generally do so because they have huge hearts and a genuine desire to help others, but their quality of life is often sacrificed. It’s an industry that is slow to change, slow to innovate, and the demands are high.

The burnout rate in the veterinary industry is among the highest in any industry, as is the suicide rate. We want to do our part to change this.

Our #1 goal is to create a team-centric culture. We will strive to create a culture where people (and pets) are prioritized, where every team member feels valued, and where we will leverage technology and innovation as a way to improve both access to care for our clients and the quality of life for our team members.

If we can support our team in creating a life they love both in and out of work, everyone wins. If we can be part of the movement that brings down the burnout and early retirement rate in our industry, and most importantly the suicide rate, what an accomplishment that would be.
