Animal Emergency Center of Las Vegas and Henderson Achieves Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society (VECCS) Facility Certification
May 1, 2026 – Animal Emergency Center of Las Vegas and Henderson Achieves proudly announces its recent accreditation as a VECCS Certified Facility, marking a significant milestone in enhancing patient care standards.
The Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care Society (VECCS) is a global professional organization comprising of veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and practice managers committed to advancing knowledge and upholding superior standards in veterinary emergency and critical care.
VECCS offers a facility certification program to encourage facilities to provide exceptional emergency and critical patient care. The purpose of this certification is to recognize those hospitals that meet and exceed the minimum standards and guidelines published by VECCS. VECCS does this in the hopes of raising the standard of care while also increasing public and professional awareness in veterinary emergency and critical patient care.
The Animal Emergency Center of Las Vegas and Henderson is the only facility in the state of Nevada to hold this unique distinction, a recognition it has proudly maintained since 2014. As a privately owned practice unencumbered by corporate influence, the center remains entirely focused on what matters most: providing exceptional, compassionate care to patients during critical times while steadfastly supporting its veterinary referral base.
