Partnership Strengthens NVA’s Commitment to Meet the Growing Demand for Specialty Veterinary Care
National Veterinary Associates, a leading global pet care organization and community of more than 1,400 veterinary hospitals and pet resorts, is proud to announce that SAGE Veterinary Centers, a premier provider of specialty and emergency medicine, has officially joined the NVA family, having closed the previously announced acquisition. SAGE joins NVA Compassion-First, NVA’s dedicated specialty and emergency care group. Together, they will further our commitment to delivering progressive, compassionate, and exceptional medicine.
“We are so pleased to welcome SAGE and its outstanding teams to the NVA Compassion-First family, expanding our ability to exceed the growing demands of pet parents for world-class specialty and emergency medicine,” said Greg Hartmann, Chief Executive Officer of NVA. “Known for its collaborative and tight-knit community, SAGE is a great complement to NVA as we both share a philosophy of supporting our teams so they can provide world-class care to patients.”
“We are thrilled to join the NVA Compassion-First family as like-minded partners committed to driving the future of specialty and emergency veterinary medicine,” said Gina Del Vecchio, Chief Executive Officer of SAGE. “NVA Compassion-First is the ideal partner for SAGE’s next chapter, affording our doctors and teams greater opportunities to collaborate, grow and thrive. I am confident our talented veterinary, clinical and support teams, as well as patients and their families, will see significant benefits from joining NVA Compassion-First.”
Founded in 1992, SAGE operates in the western United States, with veterinary hospitals in Alaska, Arizona, California, and Washington. SAGE joins NVA Compassion-First’s family of more than 100 specialty, emergency, and surgical hospitals, which have distinguished themselves as innovative and compassionate leaders. Reflecting SAGE and NVA Compassion-First’s strongly aligned approach to veterinary care, SAGE’s management, their founding veterinarians, and Chicago Pacific Founders have rolled over a portion of their investment proceeds into stock in NVA as part of the transaction.
