Due to the growing concerns of the Coronavirus outbreak, TVC has decided to move the date of our TVC RISEvet Chicago event from April 19th to October 11th, to maximize a positive, safe, and successful event for all.
We will also follow and and encourage any safety guidelines at the time of the events, such as encouraging everyone to wash hands often, refrain from physical contact with one another, providing hand sanitizer and wipes, and refraining from attending if feeling ill.
TVC is owned by participating hospitals, and one perk of that ownership is free attendance to certain educational events. Clinics who would like to participate at no cost are required to reach certain benchmarks to ensure that they receive this opportunity at no cost. If you are interested in learning how to become a TVC Co-op Owner and receive this as a benefit in the future, check out www.tvc.coop.

The Veterinary Cooperative was started by 4 veterinarians from around the country who had a common goal to level the playing field in pricing, marketing and business techniques between independent practices and the growing corporate hospitals, big box stores, pharmacies and online providers that are encroaching on the independent animal hospital's ability to be profitable. TVC aims to keep our hospitals competitive and profitable. TVC is differentiated from other purchasing groups in the marketplace because of our unique ownership structure (we are owned by our participating hospitals), an atmosphere that focuses on cooperation on all levels, and our dedication to providing premier education.

Plus, attending one of the conferences may just make you excited about how TVC could continue to positively impact your hospital.
