MedVet opens new veterinary hospital in Meridian

Emergency and specialty veterinary health care company MedVet opened a new hospital in Meridian on Sept. 25.

The facility will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing care for pets in a 14,000-square-foot-plus newly built building.

“Opening WestVet Meridian shows a deep commitment to supporting pets and their loving families in the Treasure Valley and surrounding area,” said Dr. Jeff Brourman, a founding partner of Worthington, Ohio-based WestVet. “We continue expanding to ensure compassionate, comprehensive and collaborative veterinary care is available across the region.”

MedVet has three other locations in Idaho, with an emergency and multi-specialty hospital in Boise, an emergency hospital in Idaho Falls and an urgent care clinic also in Meridian.

The new facility will be equipped with advanced imaging equipment, surgical suites, a digital radiograph, endoscopy equipment and point-of-care ultrasound.

“I am thrilled to open this hospital and proud of the WestVet Meridian team who have come together to provide compassionate, expert care to pets in need,” said Dr. Laura Pell, the medical director. “Our caregivers have been working tirelessly to ensure we are ready to provide the best care from day one as we partner with family veterinarians to serve as an extension of their practices. This is a tremendous opportunity to serve our community and the veterinary professionals in southwest Idaho.

Along with Pell, the staff includes Erica Brandt, the hospital director, and Drs. Alexis Cottingham, Anson Grigg, Nicole Skilling, Audrey Morrissey, Joe Cacioppo and Kate Westcott.

The hospital is located at 212 S. Innovation Lane in Meridian and can be reached at 208-813-6477.
