Make a Difference When It Matters Most.

At Emergency Veterinary Care Centers (EVCC), we show up for pets and the people who love them on some of their hardest days.

At Emergency Veterinary Care Centers (EVCC), we show up for pets and the people who love them on some of their hardest days. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, believe teamwork saves lives, and want to work somewhere your voice truly matters — this could be your place.

Who We Are

Emergency Veterinary Care Centers was created by veterinarians, for veterinarians—and for the communities they serve. Founded by 36 local general practice veterinarians (many of whom are still actively involved today), EVCC was built to support the veterinary community by providing trusted emergency-only care when primary care veterinarians are closed.

Today, EVCC has six locations across the Midwest, and we’re continuing to grow into communities that need access to high-quality emergency veterinary care.

Our upcoming Kenosha location will be our seventh hospital and our first in Wisconsin. We’re building it with the goal of providing compassionate, around-the-clock emergency care to pets and the people who love them.

But what truly defines EVCC isn't just what we do—it’s how we do it.

We:
  • Lead with compassion
  • Respect and elevate our team members
  • Support each other without ego
  • Communicate openly and professionally
  • Believe DVMs should have a voice in the medicine they practice
  • Recognize that emergency medicine is demanding, and take care of our team because of it
What Life Is Like at EVCC

We genuinely care about whoever walks through our doors—whether it’s a critical patient, an anxious pet parent, or a teammate who needs support during a tough shift.

Emergency medicine is intense. It’s emotional. It’s unpredictable.

But it’s also deeply meaningful.

At EVCC, you’ll be surrounded by people who understand the highs and lows of emergency medicine and who want to see you succeed. We’re veterinarian-led, collaborative, and committed to creating an environment where people can build careers they’re proud of.

And as a Medical Director, you won’t just be stepping into an established hospital. You’ll have the opportunity to help build one.

Your Role as a Medical Director

As Medical Director of our upcoming Kenosha hospital, you’ll help set the foundation for a brand-new emergency veterinary hospital from day one. You’ll have the opportunity to shape the medical culture, build relationships within the community, mentor your team, and help establish the standards that will guide the hospital as it grows toward 24/7 operations.

You’ll work closely with EVCC’s Executive Medical Director and Location Manager, while having the support of an entire network of veterinary professionals behind you. And you won’t have to figure it all out alone. You’ll receive one-on‑one mentorship from an existing EVCC Medical Director, including in-person support during your initial transition.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:
  • Advocate for the entire clinical team and partner with the Location Manager to ensure equipment, inventory, protocols, and staffing are appropriate for EVCC standards
  • Help establish and oversee 24/7 hospital operations while maintaining exceptional clinical and client service standards
  • Provide medical insight and participate in the resolution of client concerns
  • Lead onsite mentorship for new DVMs and model effective instruction for the clinical support team
  • Provide mentorship for selected VTS candidates
  • Facilitate and participate in DVM check-ins and evaluations
  • Manage DVM scheduling for the hospital
  • Hold the DEA license for the location and ensure legal and compliance standards are met
  • Build relationships within the veterinary industry and local community to grow EVCC’s impact
  • Partner with the…
