Heartland Veterinary Partners

We love supporting opportunities that remind our teams to pause, move, connect, and show up for one another because those moments matter long after the finish line. So proud of everyone who participated, cheered each other on, and helped make the evening such a great reflection of Heartland’s culture! #HeartlandMovesTogether #MoveForMentalWellness #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

We’re excited to share that, as part of a planned leadership transition, Connor Lawrie is now CEO of Heartland Veterinary Partners. From the early days of Heartland, Connor has played a defining role in shaping who we are today. As President and COO, he helped build a culture grounded in trust, support, and a deep respect for our veterinarians and their teams. That foundation is not just part of our story; it is a reflection of his leadership. He consistently leads with a clear focus on putting doctors and their teams at the center of everything we do. That focus will only deepen in this next chapter. We’re also incredibly grateful to Greg DeAtkine for his leadership over the past five years and are glad he will continue to support Heartland in his new role on the Board.

From routine visits that don’t go as planned to unexpected emergencies, veterinary medicine is filled with moments you can’t predict. This World Veterinary Day, we recognize the people who make a difference in these moments. The ones whose work reaches far beyond the practice walls, strengthening the communities they serve. The ones whose quiet acts of care often go unseen. Each of these four stories from our practices reflects the intuition, empathy, and commitment these teams bring to their work. Because veterinary medicine isn’t just about care. It’s about connection and trust. Take a moment to read more about how our practices turn heart into action. https://lnkd.in/gfgi9pup #WorldVeterinaryDay #WVD2026 #VetMed

This weekend, we brought together 18 students from the University of Illinois and the University of Missouri for our first Destination Dental event in St. Louis. From an introduction to Heartland in the morning to hands-on dental charting and nerve blocks in the afternoon, they showed up ready to learn.    Meaningful growth doesn’t happen all at once. It happens in the moments where learning meets access, and opportunity meets you where you are.

#Mentorship can play a powerful role in shaping a veterinarian’s career. Today, International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating Dr. Abigail Moore, Heartland’s 2025 Mentorship Partner of the Year, whose dedication to supporting new veterinarians brings the theme #GiveToGet to life. #vetmed #veterinarymedicine #mentor #leadership #dvm #newgradvet

February shines a light on pet dental health, but at Heartland, dentistry is a year-round commitment.   From foundational training at New Grad Retreat that helps new doctors begin with confidence, to practice teams taking advantage of regional dental trainings throughout the year, and students gaining early exposure at our Destination Dental event, growth is always in motion.   Dentistry isn't just an opportunity to expand care in our practices, it's how we invest in veterinarians and their teams at every stage of their careers. #veterinarymedicine #vetmed #PetDentalHealthMonth #clinicalskills #VeterinaryDentistry #VeterinaryDentalTraining

The story of veterinary medicine is still being written.   On campuses across the country, it’s actively being shaped by students who bring new perspectives, lived experiences, and bold ambition.   This #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re celebrating our Student Ambassadors who embody the momentum for meaningful change.

We spent three days in Nashville with our practice leaders, the Support Center team, and key vendors, sharing big ideas, celebrating outstanding achievements, and building momentum for the year ahead.    From a VIP experience at the Grand Ole Opry House and Jesse Cole's high-energy keynote, to the heartfelt moments celebrating the award winners at the Summit Gala, our leaders will take the countless moments of connection, intention, and passion back to their teams — turning inspiration into bold action for the communities they serve.   #leadership #community #inspiration

As the year comes to a close, we’d like to take a moment to appreciate the connections we’ve made. At Heartland, the brightest part of our work is supporting the doctors and teams who guide their communities with compassion. Here’s to a year ahead filled with new opportunities, shared purpose, and continued growth.
