Eugene II — Patient of the Night Some patients settle in and win the whole overnight team over. Eugene II did just that, earning Patient of the Night as a sweet, older gentleman with plenty of charm to go around. At ANC, your pets are our pets. 🥰 #stlouis #stlpets #theanc #veterinaryneurology #VetNeuro #VeterinaryNeurology #VetMed
Recovery has its sweeter moments. This pup took a break between rechecks for some quality time with his care team. This is what patient care looks like behind the scenes at ANC. #stlouis #stlpets #theanc #veterinaryneurology #VetNeuro #VeterinaryNeurology #VetMed
Team member shoutout! The ANC’s own Dr. Kristy Keyes just passed the first exam along the path to board certification in veterinary neurology. Dr. Keyes is one of The ANC's residents. Residents complete two demanding exams during their training. The general examination, taken in the second year, tests competency across the full breadth of veterinary internal medicine, well beyond neurology alone. Passing it reflects years of rigorous study and clinical work. Still ahead is the certifying examination, the final step toward becoming a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Keyes on this accomplishment. We're proud to have her on the team.
Discharge day looks good on Poe. Poe is heading home and we had to gather his cage care ribbons to go along with him! Just a few of Poe’s many accolades: Employee of the Month. Bravest Beagle. Recovery Rockstar. Best Snuggler. Most Likely to Brighten Your Day. This is another small way our team marks the courage these patients show and the bond we build with them from admission to recovery. Heal well, Poe. You earned every ribbon! 🏆
