Dustin Henwood is my grandson, son of Stephen Henwood and Molly Zeitz. His mother posted this to me which is his announcement: Dustin is a veterinarian, a graduate of Oregon State University...
I have a big life update to share!
I’ve had to keep my intentions on the down-low as of late due to nondisclosure agreements I signed, but now I can finally say it….I am the proud owner of the veterinary clinic known as MetroVet in NE Portland (soon to be renamed Heart and Soul Animal Urgent Care). I plan to spend the next month operating under the former name until we can change over the branding, marketing, and signage. Our first day of business will be January 1st, 2021!!!
Being a practice owner and fostering a work culture of kindness and collaboration, one that prioritizes meaningful relationships and enriches one another’s lives, has been a longtime childhood dream. I never expected this chapter to begin this early in my career, but I’m now feeling more inspired than ever to make this vision a reality.
We will provide high-quality veterinary care for pets needing same-day attention for their illness or injury. The demand for veterinary urgent care in Portland has grown exponentially in recent years, leaving pet owners with only one option when their pet needs immediate care: to wait at an emergency hospital for many hours until their pet can be seen. Safety measures put into place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have only exacerbated this problem, requiring pets and owners to sometimes wait up to 12 hours to be seen. Our urgent care clinic is here to provide the same exceptional care for these pets in a more timely manner.
I believe in challenging the status quo of veterinary medicine by prioritizing the importance of working as a cohesive, wholehearted team. We will provide ample opportunities for each employee’s professional growth and aspire to cultivate a work culture that promotes team building and creates meaningful connections.
If you enjoy the fast-paced nature of urgent care and emergency, and you want to be part of a radical work environment where inclusivity, collaboration, and kindness are the expectation, we would love to hear from you!
