If your practice hasn't taken advantage
of this avenue for financial help
to your clients and would like more
information, you can find it on the
SCVMA website (www.scvma.org)
or the AHF website (http://www.
animalhealthfoundation.net/how-wehelp/angel-fund.html).
Or,
better yet, pick up the phone
and call us at the SCVMA Offices
(714-821-7493) or e-mail us at
membershipdesk@scvma.org. We
can provide information or enroll
your practice. There is absolutely no
cost to sign up - nothing to lose and
everything for your patients to gain.
An Edna Boydston Grant can help
your senior clients with cost-of-care
issues. Use the same contact information
as for the Angel Fund.
To participate in the Angel Fund
or the Boydston Grant, there must
be an SCVMA member veterinarian
at your practice and the pet
owner must not qualify for traditional
sources of funding nor have
any available personal financial
resources. The Angel Fund will gift
up to $1,000 per hospital each year
and the hospital must contribute an
equivalent amount. The pet owner
is committed to paying only 10 percent.
Everybody helps and everybody
is invested in making sure the
best care is provided.
There is a Day for That!
