VRCCO Unveils Premier Veterinary Hospital and Community Pavilion in Central Oregon

The Veterinary Referral Center of Central Oregon (VRCCO) recently launched a cutting-edge emergency and specialty veterinary hospital, alongside an adjoining food truck pavilion, revolutionizing veterinary care and community engagement in Central Oregon. The facility embodies VRCCO's mission to enhance healthcare and customer experience for pets and their owners.

Operating around the clock, the new hospital presents numerous veterinary specialties including emergency services, the Bone, Joint & Spine Center, surgery, and more, equipped with the region's inaugural pet-specific MRI among other advanced technologies. To further support its staff and the local community, VRCCO has also introduced a certified childcare center named Vet Cadets on its premises.

Adjacent to the hospital, VRCCO has opened Ponch's Place, featuring a food truck pavilion and beer garden designed as a communal space for enjoyment and relaxation, offering a variety of local crafts and cuisines. This initiative aims to create a welcoming atmosphere, exceeding expectations both within and beyond the hospital's walls.

To mark the grand opening, VRCCO has organized a celebratory event at Ponch's Place on April 13, featuring a ribbon cutting, hospital tours, live music, and special food truck samplings. The event will also promote the VRCCO Care Fund through discounted GoodLife beer sales, benefiting local pet owners in need.

Moreover, VRCCO continues to operate its original Urgent Care Center, offering convenient non-emergency services to augment the comprehensive care available through its two locations in Bend, Oregon.
