August News

Dr. Raul Casas recently returned from his annual Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association Field Services Program (HSVMA) trip. Formerly Rural Area Veterinary Services(RAVS), this non-profit veterinary outreach program combines community service and veterinary education to bring free veterinary services to underserved rural communities where poverty and geographic isolation make regular veterinary care inaccessible.


This year’s trip was to Guatemala, where Dr. Casas volunteered his time and expertise during the 9 day trip to help provide veterinary care and improve welfare to the country’s working horses. If you would like to learn more about other HSVMA membership and programs please visit www.hsvma.org
