From Norfolk and Virginia Beach to Chesapeake, Suffolk, and communities across Hampton Roads, veterinary care is part of our community. Behind every veterinarian is a place where they learned to care for animals, solve difficult problems, and serve the people who depend on them.

For Virginia, that place is the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine — the Commonwealth’s only veterinary college.

The veterinarians caring for your pets, livestock, and communities today may have started their journey at VMCVM. And the students training there now will become the veterinarians serving Virginia tomorrow.

Your community can help shape that future.

Your gift can support scholarships that help future veterinarians pursue their education with less financial burden or the expansion of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital where students gain the hands-on experience they need to become confident, capable veterinarians.

Whether you have personally relied on a VMCVM-trained veterinarian, brought your animal to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, or simply believe in preparing the next generation, you have a role in the future of veterinary medicine.

From Hampton Roads to the rest of Virginia, our communities can invest in the veterinarians who will care for us and our animals for generations to come.
