Overview

The Vice President ASPCA Animal Hospital (VP) is the Department Head (DH) of the ASPCA Animal Hospital (AAH) in New York City.

The VP ensures efficient, effective hospital operations that deliver high-quality, accessible care and support AAH’s training and research priorities. This leader builds a strong, mission-driven team culture and works closely with the Senior Vice President of Veterinary Medicine, the Senior Vice President of Community-Centered Medicine, and the Vice Presidents of ASPCA Spay/Neuter Alliance and Community Medicine to support effective matrix management and to align hospital efforts with organization-wide goals that expand access to care and improve animal welfare.
