Equipped with advanced diagnostics like MRI, CT, fluoroscopy, and a PET scanner, the hospital features 52 exam rooms, 12 surgical suites, a dedicated emergency department, and expanded training spaces.

Why Work in Medical Oncology?
- Medical Oncology is a place where advanced medicine, skill growth, and compassionate care all come together. Every day, you get to use and expand your technical skills — from catheter placements and fluid therapy to medication administration — while handling complex cases that often include multiple health conditions. It’s fast-paced, challenging, and deeply rewarding.
- One of the best parts of the job is the relationships you build. You get to know patients and families over time, optimizing quality of life and celebrating wins together. Oncology patients often leave the hospital wagging their tails, excited to see us again. Even the most anxious pets learn to trust our team, and clients appreciate the care and attention we give, sometimes driving an hour just for that experience.
- Teamwork is at the heart of what we do. Our nurses and doctors trust each other, communicate seamlessly, and support one another through emotionally intense moments. We celebrate not just patient milestones, but each other’s growth — whether it’s mastering a new procedure or taking on a challenging case.
- If you want a role where you can grow your skills, make a real impact on patients’ lives, and be part of a supportive, high-achieving team, Medical Oncology is the place to be.
- Work alongside a dedicated team of veterinary professionals committed to delivering exceptional patient care.
- Thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where your skills make a direct impact on patients and their families.
- Be part of meaningful moments in the lives of pets and their owners, providing compassionate support and care.
- Expand your knowledge through ongoing training, mentorship, and a culture that values continuous learning and professional growth.
