UTCVM Medical Center's Wish List for Giving
December 13, 2011
As our patient caseload continues to grow and new advances in medical treatment come online, so does the need to insure that UT’s Veterinary Medical Center provides the latest in patient diagnostics and care. Each year, the VMC purchases new equipment for our small animal, avian and exotics, equine and farm animal hospitals, but hospital income seldom stretches to cover all of the necessary equipment improvements.
This is why we are sharing our WISH LIST with the public. There are numerous items with widely varying prices needed to serve our animal patients. Sometimes, satisfied clients or other friends of the veterinary medical center elect to make a gift toward the purchase of a substantial piece of equipment that will benefit many animal patients. Naming opportunities are available to donors who would like to cover the entire purchase cost of a major piece of equipment. Please contact Claire Eldridge, UTCVM Development Office at celdridge@utk.edu or (865)974-6477 for more information.
Please review the listing below to see if there is something special with which you would like to help us.
