through the region but the safety requirements and concerns
for the health of our members, their staffs and families
and limitations in venue availability have forced us to
remain conservative in our planning.
Our LIVE Sunday Symposia CE are in the formative stages
but you can hold the dates for these three- to seven-hour
events.

Achieving Inclusion and Diversity in the Veterinary Profession

Good news! The lunchtime and Sunday webinars offered by
SCVMA, as well as virtual chapter meetings, are all considered interactive
CE meetings so long as participants attend during the scheduled
meeting times when the speaker is presenting the webinar. These meetings
are recorded and listed in the library on our my.scvma.org listserv.
Viewing the recorded webinars on your own time is considered selfstudy.
You can find these recordings under the community " SCVMA
Virtual Webinars. " Just click the Library tab for a list of over 150
hours of recorded CE for your viewing pleasure.

ANGEL FUND
APPLICATIONS ENCOURAGED
In 2021, the Angel Fund contributed $7,000 to pet
owners challenged by the cost of care for their fourlegged
family members.
Angel Fund wants to help you and your patients.
Our cooperative venture with the Animal Health Foundation
has contributed more than $130,000 to truly
needy pet owners throughout Los Angeles and Orange
counties. The cases have ranged from major medical
conditions to challenging surgical procedures, but the
common thread is pet owners with real financial need,
who want to provide the care their pets' needs.
If your practice hasn't taken advantage of this and
would like more information, you can find it on the
SCVMA website (www.scvma.org) or the AHF website
(http://www.animalhealthfoundation.net/how-wehelp/angel-fund.html).
Or,
better yet, pick up the phone and call Allyne at the
SCVMA Offices (714-821-7493) or e-mail her at membershipdesk@scvma.org.
She can provide information
or enroll your practice. There is absolutely no cost to
sign up. Thus, there is nothing to lose and everything
for your patients to gain.
An Edna Boydston Grant also can help your senior
clients with cost-of-care issues. Use the same contact
information as for the Angel Fund.
To participate in the Angel Fund or the Boydston
Grant, there must be an SCVMA member veterinarian
at your practice and the pet owner must not qualify for
traditional sources of funding nor have any available
personal financial resources. The Angel Fund will gift
up to $1000 per case and the hospital must contribute
an equivalent amount. The pet owner is committed to
paying only
10 percent.
Everybody
helps and
everybody
is invested
in making
sure the
best care is
provided.
