WORLD VETERINARY DAY

The World Veterinary Association celebrated the very first World Veterinary Day in 2001 as a way to commemorate and promote the work of veterinarians worldwide. Each World Veterinary Day features a different theme, from rabies to diversity. This year’s theme is “Strengthening Veterinary Resilience.”

Dr. Gina herself says that veterinarians’ environments “can sometimes be a challenge to one’s mental health and wellness,” and the World Veterinary Association agrees. According to the association, “Veterinarians, much like their patients, need proper tools and support to maintain their personal health and wellness.”
