A Veterinary Advisory Board made up of equine practitioners in Virginia and Maryland has been created for the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center in Leesburg, Va. Like members of the Equine Medical Center’s Council, Veterinary Advisory Board Members will provide advice and counsel to the Center’s director and staff in order to meet the needs of the equine industry and of the constituencies it serves. Members also will work to facilitate communication with clients and other referring veterinarians.

“Servicing the needs of referring veterinarians is key to the Equine Medical Center’s success” stated Dr. Nathaniel A. White, II, Interim Director. “This group of experienced practitioners will provide valuable advice about the hospital’s function, business practices and communications with veterinarians and clients. By working as a team, the regional veterinary community can share technology and expertise to raise the level of horse health care and advance the profession. I am pleased with the new Board Members’ willingness to help in this effort
