Our goal at District Veterinary Hospital - Brookland is to create an environment that is both comfortable and welcoming to patients as well as to our staff. We have a supportive and knowledgeable team that is willing to step in to help where needed. We are committed to providing the highest quality of care to our animal friends while having fun.

Our four-doctor hospital offers a unique, open-concept design aimed at making the space feel less like a traditional hospital. Our waiting room is styled to resemble a modern living room, and our exam rooms feature comfortable seating areas, all with warm colors and surfaces to help reduce stress for both our dog and cat patients.

Our leadership is approachable and fosters a relaxed, supportive environment. As an AAHA-accredited hospital, we prioritize a positive work culture with a strong focus on work-life balance and mental health well-being.

We hold daily huddles to discuss important updates and ensure everyone is aligned for the day, along with staff meetings every 2-3 months for ongoing communication and growth. We actively incorporate Fear Free and Cat Friendly techniques with our patients to enhance their comfort and experience.

Our culture is built around positivity, community, and creating an environment where everyone feels invited to laugh, have fun, and grow together. We believe that training is key, and in 2024, we’re prioritizing the development of our staff to ensure no one remains stagnant.

We offer various opportunities for growth through our training labs, where staff can learn and enhance their skills. Additionally, we host "Power Hours" every Thursday, focusing on a different tech training topic each week.

To support both skill development and personal preferences, we rotate staff through different roles across the hospital, including room tech, float tech, surgery tech, lab, pharmacy, intake tech, and drop-off charge tech. This approach allows everyone to grow and expand their expertise while contributing to the teams success.
