El Paso Veterinary Medical Association

Founded in 1956, the El Paso Veterinary Medical Association (EPVMA) has dedicated over six decades to advancing animal health and strengthening the human-animal bond in our community. Our organization champions the veterinary profession through education, advocacy, and collaborative programs that benefit both animals and the public. We specialize in coordinating continuing education opportunities, promoting responsible pet ownership, and implementing community-wide animal welfare initiatives. By partnering with local veterinarians, media outlets, and animal organizations, we ensure access to critical health resources and information. Our leadership in organizing events like the Sun City Veterinary Conference demonstrates our commitment to professional development and community engagement.

Through programs like El Pawso Proud, we educate the public on animal health issues while fostering cross-sector collaboration to address regional concerns. Our scholarship foundation for local veterinary students at Texas A&M University reflects our investment in future generations of animal care professionals. With decades of collective experience, our team and member veterinarians work tirelessly to maintain El Paso's reputation as a leader in animal wellbeing. We prioritize transparency in operations, ethical standards in veterinary practice, and direct community service that improves quality of life for both animals and people. Our partnerships with organizations like TexVetPets.org extend this mission through reliable, veterinarian-vetted pet health education for Texas pet owners.
