THE STORY
More Than a Hospital - A Mission
Veterinary Pulse Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a dual mission: to meet our region's urgent need for after-hours veterinary care — and to support the people who make that care possible. Through our flagship initiative—Pet Pulse After Hours ER—we're creating a sustainable, compassionate solution to a long-standing gap in veterinary emergency care.
For over 30 years, Teton County's veterinary clinics have struggled with rotating after-hours coverage, leading to burnout, staff turnover, and limited availability.
Our urgent care hybrid hospital (opening early fall 2026) will change that. We'll be open nights, weekends, and holidays to provide urgent care when regular clinics are closed, working in partnership with existing veterinarians. Our nonprofit structure lets us focus on what matters: veterinary care, not profit margins.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Where Clinical Excellence Meets a Team That Has Your Back
Veterinary nursing is demanding work. The best nurses are technical, empathetic, fast-thinking, and deeply caring — and they deserve an environment that honors that.
At our urgent care and emergency hospital, we've intentionally built a culture where nurses aren't stretched thin or treated like a commodity. You'll work a manageable caseload, alongside supportive DVMs who value your input, and a team that genuinely lifts each other up.
Whether you're placing an IV catheter, monitoring anesthesia, or walking a nervous client through discharge instructions — you'll have the time and support to do it right.
