ABOUT CATSKILL VETERINARY SERVICES: We are the primary hub for veterinary care in Sullivan County, the Hudson Valley, and beyond. We are a "Full Scope" network designed to support the patient at every stage of life. Our Network: In addition to our hospital hubs in Rock Hill and Newburgh, we operate a dedicated location in Middletown which serves as our main primary care facility. This ecosystem ensures a strong internal referral base and allows our ER team to focus on urgent cases while our Primary Care team handles wellness. Continuity of Care: We offer the satisfaction of seeing cases through. If your critical ER patient needs long-term internal medicine management or advanced surgery, our internal team handles it. You get to see the outcomes of your hard work. Honoring the Bond: We are deeply committed to preserving the human-animal bond. We support the owner just as much as the patient, fostering a strong community reputation that you can be proud of. THE SUPPORT YOU DESERVE: You know the medicine. You need a team that can keep up. We have curated a team designed to maximize your efficiency and reduce your stress. Licensed & Capable: You will be flanked by a powerhouse team of Licensed Veterinary Technicians (LVTs) and experienced assistants.

They have years of hands-on experience, meaning they understand the challenges you face and know exactly how to support you. Collaborative Culture: We encourage a collaborative experience. We will meet you with the energy and drive you bring to the table. Whether you want to focus solely on clinical work or have an interest in mentoring younger associates, we facilitate your professional goals. LIFE IN THE HUDSON VALLEY: Work where you love to live. No matter where you choose to settle in the beautiful Hudson Valley, you are in an incredible place to call home. Ideally Located: We are a short, scenic drive to NYC. You can enjoy the city culture on your days off, but live in an area with a lower cost of living, more land, and less traffic.
