In 2018, the Arizona Veterinary Medical Association declared the month of January as “Veterinary Well-being Month” in Arizona. The declaration was made to call attention to the importance of physical and mental health in our veterinary community and to highlight the support services available to navigate the personal and professional challenges faced by veterinarians and staff in contemporary practice.
The month of January is celebrated with special well-being programs, tips for meeting individual challenges, new partnerships, and resources at your fingertips.
