PET CHRONICLES I cannor believe that in just a couple more days on July 6th, we will celebrate our 14th anniversary of owning Keauhou Veterinary Hospital. It doesn't seem like it can be nearly that long but our daughter is 14 and we moved here when she was just 5 months, so it must be true. So much has changed and thinking back on the last 14 years and how far we have come it is incredible to think about all we have learned, experienced and accomplished. In the last 14 years we have transformed Keauhou Veterinary Clinic into a hospital. With a full in house lab, digital x-ray, ultrasound surgical suite, dental suite, pharmacy and more. We have become an AAHA accredited facility and have maintained that accreditation for more than a decade. We have been recognized by the Kona- Kohala Chamber of Commerce as a Kuleana Green Business for our good work towards reducing, recycling and use of solar power. Dr. Jacob Head has won the Best Veterinarian in West Hawaii for the last 12 years and the hospital has won best pet care as well. We have been recognized by the Better Business Bureau as an A+ rated business for the last 14 years and counting., We have weathered a recession and aglobal pandemic. We have volunteered around our community and our island sponsoring community events like GEMS- Girls exploring Math and Science, PATH and countless races and community events. Dr. Head has competed in Ironman and we continue to volunteer our time to these community activities and organizations. Dr. Head has served on the Board, and has been Board president for the Konawaena Foundation for over a decade. He also serves on the board for the Hawaii Veterinary Medical Association. All of this while raising 3 children, 2 of which have set their sails and moved away from Hawaii to further their educations and start their lives. Looking back on the last 14 years, has given us the chance to see just how far we have come. It has taught us resilience. It has taught to be strong. It has shown us how to persevere in the face of personal health crisis and during times of loss and sorrow. It has shown us first hand what an amazing community we live in and we feel so grateful to get to be a part of this community. As we move forward into the next trip around the sun at Keauhou Veterinary Hospital we only hope to continue to do what we came here to do. Our goal has always been to provide the highest quality of care to the animals we get the privilege to care for. We have forged unbreakable bonds with our community and we look forward to continuing to serve our community for many years to come. Thank you Kona and the Big Island for your continued support, patronage and love. From all of us here at Keauhou Veterinary Hospital.
