The center will offer various services, including internal medicine, cardiology, medical and radiation oncology, emergency and critical care, surgery, and neurology. VCA Animal Hospitals says the center plans to offer oncology and radiology treatment beginning on September 29 and has plans to provide 24-hour emergency care in 2026. Features of the new location include ventilation support, 24-hour hemoperfusion for acute toxicities, emergency surgeries, minimally invasive surgeries and procedures, cancer treatment using blood apheresis, an in-house blood banking program, a clinical trial program, and a Varian Edge radiation machine.
