Job description

WHO WE ARE

Emergency Veterinary Care Centers (EVCC) is a rapidly growing group of emergency veterinary hospitals with 5 locations across the Midwest. Our mission is to continue to expand into and support communities who need us the most—where pet owners don’t have access to 24/7 vet care.

We believe in providing exceptional, around-the-clock care, because emergencies don’t just happen between 9-5.

WHAT’S LIFE LIKE AT EVCC?

At EVCC, we genuinely care about whoever walks through our door; whether it be a sick pet, their parent, or one of our own team members.

We’re a veterinarian-led company that truly values the perspectives and leadership of our DVMs. Started by 36 area general practice veterinarians—the majority of whom remain involved with EVCC today—we’re proud of the collaborative environment that exists in all our locations.

Because let’s face it; while emergency veterinary care is an exciting and fulfilling field, it’s not easy. That’s why we take extra special care of our team members through continuing education opportunities, promotion possibilities, and a supportive work environment you can be proud of.

Provide quality and compassionate emergency care to a diverse range of patients in a fast-paced environment.

WHY SAGINAW?

Saginaw is a city on the rise. Once a community hit hard by economic decline, it’s now experiencing a remarkable resurgence thanks to dedicated residents, entrepreneurs, and local leaders investing in its future.

Located along the Saginaw River and just 15 miles from Saginaw Bay within Lake Huron, the area offers endless opportunities for outdoor recreation; from kayaking and boating to hiking and fishing. Additionally, the Old Town district is brimming with locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, and small businesses.

For families, the Saginaw Arts and Sciences Academy (SASA) has again been recognized among the best schools in the nation, earning a Top 100 national ranking and the #4 spot in Michigan in the 2025–2026 U.S. News & World Report Best High Schools list.

Living in Saginaw means being part of a community that’s rebuilding itself with pride, where your work, and your life, can truly make an impact.
