Oncology Expansion Updates

In September 2024, we started building a state-of-the-art Animal Cancer Care Clinic, made possible by a generous donor gift and a monetary match by the University. This expansion project includes a comfortable lobby for pet owners, quiet patient areas, and expanded educational spaces. Here, you will find the latest updates on our progress as we work towards a brighter future in oncology care.
