We have exciting news! Veterinary Specialty Center is now an ESOP an Employee Stock Ownership Plan Company!

What does this mean for you? An ESOP is a retirement plan that allows employees to own shares in the company they work for.

And the best part? It does not require any financial outlay from our team it's an incredible benefit that's 100% free! With an ESOP, our employees truly get what they give.

We're incredibly proud to announce that VSC is the FIRST veterinary hospital in Illinois and only the SECOND in the entire country to become an ESOP! This monumental step highlights our commitment to our team. As an ESOP, Veterinary Specialty Center is truly Locally Owned, Locally Loved, and Now Employee Owned.

This means you can expect the same compassionate care our patients and clients have always received, now delivered with an even deeper commitment from our team. Our employees are integral in making VSC more efficient and less wasteful, and as owners, they directly benefit from the financial savings and growth in the form of a second retirement plan. When our hospital does well, so do our employees!

That's right! In addition to our already incredible 401K retirement plans, our staff receive a second retirement plan, which is directly tied to the performance of our hospital. They are the owners, after all.

So why wait any longer to be a part of something bigger that you directly benefit from? Apply today!

A little bit about us:

VSC is the first and only employee-owned specialty and emergency hospital in Illinois and only the second in the entire country! We have over 330 employees at our only location, which is about 40 minutes just outside of Chicago in Bannockburn, IL. We are extremely collaborative and foster a very active learning environment for our staff, residents, interns, and externs. Our specialties include surgery, rehabilitation and integrative medicine, internal medicine, emergency and critical care, anesthesia and pain management, radiology, neurology, oncology (medical and radiation), cardiology, dermatology, nephrology, and clinical pathology.

Join the fastest growing veterinary hospital and work alongside the most incredible team you could imagine; working side by side to provide unsurpassed patient care that is second to none. Veterinary Specialty Center was founded almost 50 years ago and has continued to be the industry leader in providing cutting-edge medicine in a kind and comforting environment.

Our hospital is a VECCS Level I facility and is one of only a few practices in the world to achieve LEVEL ONE Trauma Center Certification through ACVECC's Veterinary Committee on Trauma (VetCOT). We also believe in reinvesting in our team and referral community by offering the largest annual all-day free CE event in the midwest on the topics that matter most.
