ABOUT VEG
In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most. Since then, we’ve expanded across the U.S. and into Canada, with hospitals open 24/7, 365 days a year. At VEG, we do things differently, from having open-concept hospitals to creating an emergency experience that gives customers and patients the care they deserve.
