Red Bank Veterinary Hospital receives certification as a Level II Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care facility. The Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society (VECCS) is now offering a certification program to veterinary facilities that provide emergency and critical patient care. The purpose of this certification is to recognize those hospitals that meet and exceed the minimum standards and guidelines published by VECCS. VECCS does this in the hopes of raising the standard of care while also increasing public and professional awareness in the area of veterinary emergency and critical patient care.

• This certification program identifies three levels (I through III) based on facility operating hours, equipment and personnel. The VECCS has identified a Level II facility as such: “The Level II emergency and critical care facility is a 24-hour acute care facility with the medical staff, personnel and training necessary to provide emergent and critical patient care. This facility is open to receive small animal emergency patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.”

Red Bank Veterinary Hospital is accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). Hospitals that have earned this accreditation have been evaluated on practice methods, standards of patient care, and quality of the facility and medical equipment by trained AAHA consultants. Maintaining this accreditation requires regular AAHA evaluations.

• According to AAHA standards, AAHA-accredited referral practices are required to have a board-certified veterinarian on staff for each specialty within the hospital. Red Bank Veterinary Hospital not only has one of the widest varieties of specialty departments available, but most departments have more than one specialist in each one.

Red Bank Veterinary Hospital has been designated a Veterinary Trauma Center (VTC), one of a select group of ACVECC-Verified Veterinary Trauma Centers worldwide. ACVECC stands for the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care and is the governing board for emergency and critical care specialists. Along with the Veterinary Committee on Trauma (VetCOT), ACVECC establishes veterinary trauma center accreditation. As a VTC, we provide state-of-the art services for your pet. We have been recognized by these organizations for our commitment to the management of every aspect of the small animal trauma patient from emergency stabilization through advanced diagnostics, definitive medical care, surgical care, and rehabilitation. This includes the availability of board-certified specialists and cutting-edge diagnostic equipment 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.
