ALACHUA, FL – The Veterinary Hospital Managers Association (VHMA) announced Relief Services for Veterinary Practitioners (RSVP), a company dedicated to matching veterinary hospitals and practices with temporary veterinary technicians or doctors, has signed on as a Gold Supporting Sponsor. Qualifying companies offering products and services that address the professional business needs of today's veterinary practices are invited to participate in VHMA's sponsorship programs.
As an organization, RSVP has a deep understanding of people planning and people coordination. Whether it is meeting the needs of a doctor to fill in so someone can take a vacation, or a clinic wants to expand their business options without a full-time associate, they find the best fit for both the staff member and the practice. RSVP has a wide network of doctors and technicians in the veterinary industry and a holistic approach to meeting the needs of practices they work with, the clientele and the relief vet tech or veterinarian. Its mission is to better the lives of animals by improving the lives of providers who care for them.
"Veterinary managers are responsible for maintaining a fully staffed team to meet their clients' healthcare needs," said Christine Shupe, CAE, VHMA Executive Director. "For many practices, relief services are essential to bridge occasional staffing gaps. We are pleased to welcome RSVP as our newest Gold Supporting Sponsor."
“Many of the RSVP team have worked in hospitals as managers or technicians. This experience provides our team the insight to understand staffing needs,” said Shelley Johnson, CVMP, Director of RSVP. “VHMA is an incredible resource for veterinary hospital managers, and we are proud to be a Gold Supporting Sponsors.”
