Arizona Humane Society provides telemedicine veterinary services
Oct. 23
The Arizona Humane Society is the first animal welfare organization to provide Telemedicine Veterinary Services.
The action comes after two years of advocacy by the AHS which resulted in the passing of Senate Bill 1053. This bill makes Arizona one of the few states to allow veterinarians licensed in any state to establish a veterinary-client relationship through telemedicine.
Currently, the AHS is the only organization in the nation to provide this service.
AHS Vice President of Animal Welfare and Medical Services, Dr. Melissa Thompson, joined “Arizona Horizon” to expand on what this milestone could mean for future veterinary services.
