Description
Build the kind of hospital people never want to leave.
Brand - new Vetco Total Care general practices hospital are coming to Montclair and Riverside, California and we're looking for Hospital Medical Leaders and Associate Veterinarians to help build something truly special from day one.
Yes, you'll lead medicine—but you'll also help create the kind of workplace where people feel welcome, respected, supported, and excited to come to work every day.
We believe the best hospitals are built on more than great medicine. They're built on trust. On teamwork. On kindness. On people who have each other's backs during the hard days and celebrate the good ones together.
This is your opportunity to create a culture where every team member—from veterinarians and technicians to receptionists and assistants—feels valued, heard, and empowered to do their best work.
You'll help shape a hospital where collaboration is expected, learning is encouraged, empathy is a strength, and everyone contributes to exceptional patient care.
And because your time is better spent leading people and practicing medicine, we'll handle payroll, HR, operations, licensing, and administrative support so you can focus on your team, your patients, and the culture you're building.
