We have been honored as one of Chicago Tribune's Top Workplaces, and in 2018 VSC became the first B-Corp Certified veterinary hospital in the country.

Over the past forty-seven years, we have grown into a team of more than 45 veterinarians & specialists, 140 technicians / assistants, 90 support staff members, and twelve departments. In October 2022, we will be transitioning to a new LEED and WELL certified hospital located a few miles from our current location.

While the shiny new facility, toys, and gadgets provide access to state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatment options, our secret sauce is the unified alignment to our mission of providing collaborative care in a kind and comforting environment. It is 250 people all working together that makes VSC special.
