Right around the corner is our 2025 Celebration which will take place next year at
the Disney Grand Californian Hotel, on Saturday, February 8, 2025.
The evening is a celebration of the SCVMA as we recognize those who have contributed
and continue to contribute to the success of the profession. Additionally,
we honor the chapter officers who volunteer their time to organize our regional
monthly group meetings. Finally, the SCVMA leadership - the Board of Trustees -
installs its new officers and remembers the contributions of those who have served
organized veterinary medicine for many years.
To sign up to attend, go to www.scvma.org/calendar-of-events.
To sponsor, contact Lucy Perez at lperez@scvma.org.
ANGEL FUND
Angel Fund Wants to Help you and your patients.
Our cooperative venture with the Animal Health Foundation has contributed
more than $160,000 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 need.
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-we-help/angel-fund.html).
Or, better yet, pick up the phone and call us at the SCVMA Offices (714-8217493)
or e-mail us at membershipdesk@scvma.org. We 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 hospital each year 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.
