The company is also certified now to teach continuing education courses to its veterinarians, and next year will launch multiple new services.
“We started IndeVets to improve the mental health [of] our veterinarians. It’s our top priority.The only way we can help more veterinarians, improving the industry and delivering on our mission, is to grow,” Raphael said. “Making the INC 5000 is an important acknowledgment that we are staying true to our mission.”
