Opening early December 2026. We're building something new in Evansville, and we're looking for experienced veterinary professionals who want to be part of it from the very beginning. Veterinary Specialist Partners is opening a brand-new emergency and urgent care hospital with specialty internal medicine, planned for early December 2026. This isn't an older hospital that's been remodeled, and you won't be stepping into someone else's routines and equipment. VSP combines specialty medicine, emergency & urgent care, giving our team the opportunity to work alongside experienced veterinarians while caring for a diverse range of challenging and rewarding cases. Our internal medicine specialists have been seeing patients in Evansville since 2018. In the new building you'll work with 64-slice and cone beam CT, digital X-ray and ultrasound, and you'll be part of our in-house chemotherapy and endoscopy cases. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is coming in early spring 2027. Our urgent care doctors also perform limited emergency surgery, and we'll take you through VSP's anesthesia training before you help with those cases. Since we're opening the doors together, you'll have a real say in how the treatment area runs, how we communicate, and the kind of team culture we build. You won't just be joining a team; you'll be helping build one. This isn't an entry-level job. We're hiring registered veterinary technicians who can provide advanced nursing care on emergency, urgent care and internal medicine cases, and experienced veterinary assistants with strong hands-on skills who support our doctors and RVTs.
