We are seeking a visionary veterinarian and leader to serve as Group President for our Massachusetts and Rhode Island region, providing leadership and strategic direction across:

• Mass-RI Veterinary ER| Swansea, MA

• Medical quality and patient care standards


• Hospital performance and operational excellence


• Leadership development across the region


• Long-term expansion opportunities

You'll be empowered to make meaningful decisions, develop future leaders, and help create hospitals where team members are proud to work and clients trust the care being provided.
