"NVA has a unique 'behind the scenes' approach to management. Its commitment to high quality medicine and excellent client service is unwavering, but allows every hospital to achieve these goals in their own individual way. They have been a very good 'fit' for our hospital."

Why Sell to NVA?

Local Practice of Medicine
NVA places great emphasis on supporting local medical standards as established by individual hospitals and practitioners.  We believe that veterinary medicine is best practiced when veterinarians craft their own hospital and community specific strategies for high quality patient care and client services.  Toward that end, NVA makes available the tools and resources for hospitals to achieve their medical goals while avoiding any single standardized national plan that might not be the best fit for an individual hospital.  Among the tools and resources that your practice will have access to after joining NVA are our national medical database, training and education for your staff, and nationally published research and standards as they emerge.  In short, you decide what level of medicine you would like your hospital to achieve, and NVA will support you in getting there.

Maintain Your Hospital Culture
We respect the local service culture that you have created, and we work with all our hospitals using an individualized approach.  The culture you have created for your staff and your clients is an important part of our purchase.  We will provide management support and expertise to your business, allowing you and your team to provide excellent veterinary care with exemplary service as you continue to evolve and grow.  Our management team has decades of experience in veterinary medicine, both with NVA and in private practice.  We understand your issues and share practical solutions to help you deal with them effectively.  We are selective when choosing hospitals to join NVA and look for a history of sustainable and profitable growth with a strong service culture.  

Maintain Your Vision
We look to you to provide leadership and direction for the practice as the Managing Veterinarian and to continue to see clients.  NVA will provide additional training to the Hospital Manager in your practice with whom we will interact to manage most of the day-to-day issues that arise, thereby relieving you of the management load you have historically shouldered.  Your work schedule and time-off will be negotiated to meet your needs.  Our approach is so successful that while most sellers intend to stay three years, they choose to stay employed with NVA significantly longer.
