Striving to be a beacon for how a company ought to behave comes with a tremendous responsibility. As organizations come together to advocate and make change, meaningful collaborations are essential. I'm very grateful for our recently launched BANDtogether Roundtable and the progress these discussions will support.

Together, we can ensure that we are doing our part to make an impact and elevate societal wellbeing.

My first year as president of Banfield Pet Hospital offered powerful examples of our capacity to positively impact the lives of people and pets in every community we serve. Join me in celebrating just a few of our collective successes from 2017.
