Each year, HSVMA Rural Area Veterinary Services (HSVMA-RAVS) provides more than $1 million in free veterinary services to more than 8,000 animals in more than 40 communities. We go where no other animal services exist, including communities on Native American reservations throughout the United States and remote villages in Latin America and around the world. The program also provides invaluable hands-on training for hundreds of future veterinary professionals.
