    In this episode we hear from Partner’s CEO and Co-Founder, Katie Brooks, who is also a Licensed Veterinary Technician and a Certified Veterinary Practice Manager. Katie talks about her path toward becoming an LVT and navigating the complexities of veterinary medicine. She also shares why she chose to create an emergency and specialty hospital where caregivers are empowered to take ownership of their role and responsibility, and where the phrase “We Can Help” truly means something to pet owners in need. She often jokes; I built these hospitals for my oldest Labrador. “For me, the peace of mind that our team is there when needed has been so valuable to our family and the community. It’s the pets who help emotionally regulate the entire family—the health of the family rests on the health of the pets.”
