We know that hospital leadership is pivotal to our success. We leverage a Dyad Model – the hospital’s Medical Director (MD) works collaboratively with the Hospital Director (HD) to lead the Healthcare Team. The MD, who reports to a Regional Medical Director, is the local Medical Services leader and oversees all specialty and emergency doctors. The MD promotes a culture that supports the development of engaged and empowered caregivers (employees) who deliver the Med Vet Experience in a healthy and sustainable manner while living Med Vet’s core values of Teamwork, Leadership, and Compassion.

The MD partners with their dyad HD to improve and sustain Med Vet’s focus on evaluating, planning, and implementing the delivery of best‑in‑class healthcare to Med Vet patients in support of our mission:
Leading Specialty Healthcare for Pets. Successful dyad leadership provides representation of all caregivers, fosters diversity of thought, and leverages the variable experience and skill of our Medical Services and Clinical Services Teams.
