Growing through learning
As we leave winter behind and head into the spring season, we see growth everywhere. It’s an exciting time of year as flowers bloom and the days grow longer, and at Patterson we’re also very excited about your professional growth. We’re committed to helping you expand your knowledge and grow your practice so that you can focus on your clients and patients.
One of the ways we’re proud to help you on your journey is through our Guiding Practice Success (GPS) events, which are designed to help veterinarians who are interested in remodeling or rebuilding a hospital. In this issue of Patterson Today, we talked to three veterinarians who attended GPS events and have beautiful, efficient practices to show for it.
On pages 28-33, read about Liberty Pet Hospital in Ohio, and how Dr. Andrea Miller got the information, resources and support needed to build her dream veterinary hospital. On pages 18-23, read about how Dr. Shani Scherr and Dr. Amanda Morgan benefited from a partnership with Patterson when
building their new hospital, and how it all started with a GPS event. Finally, be sure to check out Dr. Dan Pate’s story on pages 6-11. Dr. Pate waited 26 years to build a new state-of-the-art facility and hasn’t looked back. The spark that started it all? A GPS event.
So if you’re thinking of building a new animal hospital and want to learn more about GPS, flip to page 48 for all of the details. I hope you enjoy these stories and find inspiration in them. We look forward to partnering with you and helping you continue to grow.
