📣 Exciting News at Options Veterinary Care! 🐾

We're thrilled to announce two leadership appointments that will help guide our next chapter of growth and impact for pets and the people who love them.

🎉 Congratulations to Carrie Brown, our new Executive Director!

Carrie has been a part of the Options family since our doors opened in 2020, serving as Clinic Manager for the past five years. In her new role, she'll lead organizational strategy, operations, partnerships, and growth as we continue expanding access to affordable veterinary care.

Before joining Options, Carrie (center) held leadership positions with Nevada Humane Society and the National Park Service. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts.

🎉 Congratulations also to Kristine McAuliffe, our new Clinic Manager!

Kristine will oversee day-to-day clinic operations, staff support, quality of care, and client experience, helping ensure every pet and family receives the exceptional care they deserve.
