Public invited for day of fun activities,
demonstrations and tours of Orange County’s most advanced animal
medical center
VCA West Coast Specialty and Emergency Animal Hospital
celebrated its grand opening by inviting the public to an
educational fun-filled day of family activities at its newly-opened
specialty hospital on Saturday, October 1, 2016. For the past three
years, design and construction has been underway on Orange County’s
most technologically advanced animal medical center conveniently
located off the I-405 at 18300 Euclid Street in Fountain
Valley.
“Our new multi-specialty VCA West Coast Specialty and Emergency
Animal Hospital is a vital community asset that serves the needs of
referring veterinarians and pet owners by offering the most
progressive specialty and emergency care,” said Art Antin, Chief
Operating Officer for VCA Animal Hospitals. “We are pleased to
welcome so many community members who helped us celebrate this
milestone opening.”
In addition to tours of the 25,000 square-foot facility and the
opportunity to meet the hospital’s professional healthcare team of
specialists and emergency doctors, the open house featured a formal
ribbon cutting ceremony with the Fountain Valley Chamber of
Commerce and local elected officials. The full roster of activities
included K-9 demonstrations by the Fountain Valley Police
Department; search and rescue demonstration by the California
Rescue Dog Association; and an exotic animal presentation and
display by Prehistoric Pets. Guests had the chance to learn about
pet CPR and how preventative nutrition can keep pets healthy.
Complimentary refreshments, food trucks and many fun activities
for youngsters, including a photo booth, face painting and music by
a DJ, made for an exciting and educational open house event for the
whole family.
The new VCA West Coast hospital offers specialized care,
diagnostics and treatment, including internal medicine, surgery,
oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, neurology,
cardiology, dentistry, critical care, and 24/7 emergency care for
dogs and cats.
It also features the most advanced technology for the benefit of
every pet’s diagnosis and treatment, including:
- 64-slice CT scanner that allows for
improved image quality and speed. It’s quicker, clearer and helps
veterinarians provide more precise treatments.
- 1.5 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) is the most powerful MRI being used for veterinary patients.
High-field MRI produces clearer images in less time to provide more
accurate diagnosis with less need for anesthesia.
- Varian Triology Linear Accelerator is
at the cutting edge of veterinary cancer therapy and can be used to
deliver the widest range of external beam radiotherapy for cancer
and neurosurgical treatments.
“At the heart of our new hospital’s advanced care services are
its board-certified veterinary specialists, who have access to
extensive medical resources, including the VCA knowledge base,
which allows our doctors to tap into the collected knowledge of
over 3,500 VCA veterinarians nationwide,” said J. Michael Walters,
DVM, MS, DACVECC, VCA West Coast co-medical director. “Our
goal is to deliver the highest quality patient care from our newest
referral and emergency hospital in Orange County.”
