ABOUT VETREDI
C.A.R.E. VetREDI CERTIFIED
Access to Preventive CARE is an essential tool for marginalized communities who contend with barriers that – cannot – be resolved with Access to Care funding and low-cost Veterinarian practices.
Structural Racism and Classicism too often deter community members from seeking veterinary care as they fear or have experienced poor treatment by veterinary staff.
The U.S. is facing a severe shortage of veterinarians. There are approximately 135,000,000 companion pets in America, and less than 60,000 veterinarians to help keep them healthy. Making matters worse, only 2% of the Veterinary field is African American, and less than 1% is Indigenous.
Aside from the lack of diversity and scarcity of veterinarians, few offices are located within underserved BIPOC communities. We don’t just have an Access to Care gap, we have a Physical and Cultural Competency gap as well.
We cannot develop BIPOC veterinarians overnight or quickly open a host of veterinary practices in underserved communities. But, we can offer a comprehensive set of tools to the field to reduce harm and create more welcoming experiences for underserved and marginalized communities.
