Dr. Jessica Bunch is advancing integrative animal rehabilitation across the Pacific Northwest.

For the past decade, Bunch has been one of the few veterinarians to focus solely on integrative medicine. During that time, she built the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital’s Integrative Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine Service from the ground up, and this spring, she became board certified in veterinary sports medicine and rehabilitation, making her the only currently practicing veterinarian in Washington with the credential.
