Veritas Veterinary Partners Advances Strategic Growth Plan with Key Investments and Executive Appointments
TINTON FALLS, N.J., June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Veritas Veterinary Partners ('Veritas' or the 'Company'), a leading network of specialty and emergency veterinary hospitals, is proud to announce a number of key developments in its strategic growth plan, underscoring its commitment to deliver exceptional care across the country. Veritas is investing in new leadership, expanding its national footprint with cutting-edge facilities and accelerating its recruitment of top-tier specialty Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) talent.
To drive forward the Company's ambitious growth strategy, Veritas has appointed several proven leaders in key positions to build out its already deep bench of senior talent. This includes strengthening the role of Veritas Founder and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Thomas D. Scavelli, DVM, Diplomate ACVS and welcoming four new senior team members: CEO Kenny Gardner, COO Stu Bachelder, CFO Elizabeth Simmons, and CHRO Nikki Rogers. Each brings an impressive track record in human health care, veterinary medicine, retail and operations. Gardner, Bachelder and Rogers previously held senior leadership positions at DaVita Kidney Care, a comprehensive kidney care provider, while Simmons most recently served as CFO of the Arizona College of Nursing.
Over the last two years, Veritas has invested significantly in enhancing and expanding its network of hospitals across the U.S. Earlier this year, Veritas opened two new, cutting-edge facilities in Tustin and San Rafael, Calif. The 10,000-square-foot, surgery-focused Tustin location, operated by Veterinary Surgical Specialists of Orange County, is designed to elevate the standard of care through features like a 128-slice CT scan machine and five surgical suites and more. The 28,000-square-foot San Rafael location, operated by Pet Emergency and Specialty Center of Marin, features a state-of-the-art intensive care unit, a chemotherapy treatment suite and other specialized services designed to manage complex and critical cases. In addition, Veritas has opened five satellite emergency hospitals – two in the greater Denver area and three in northern New Jersey with more to come.
In parallel, Veritas continues to prioritize the recruitment of specialized DVM talent nationwide. By attracting board-certified specialists and highly skilled veterinarians, the company is strengthening its ability to offer advanced care in areas such as surgery, oncology, cardiology, neurology, critical care, internal medicine and other specialties.
'We've made incredible investments across our business over the past year, and this marks the most exciting period in Veritas's history,' said Veritas CEO Kenny Gardner. 'The strides we've made in our strategic growth plan this year not only reflect our forward-looking perspective and vision, but also signal our long-term commitment to expanding access to the highest standard of veterinary care nationwide.'

Sacramento Railyards soccer stadium plan faces key city council vote
A key Sacramento city council vote deciding the future of Republic FC's new soccer stadium is set for Tuesday. Plans for Republic FC's new home, an expandable 12,000-seat facility, can't come to life without figuring out how to cover infrastructure in the area – things like roadways, pedestrian bike lanes, and traffic lights that the city estimates will to cost north of $90 million. Tuesday's vote will be to approve a special tax district that the city is looking to use to cover the cost. "I think this one is a good investment. We're not investing, subsidizing the stadium," said Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty. The Railyards development will cost an estimated $321 million at least, according to city numbers, with most of it privately funded, like Republic FC's stadium and the area around it. Developers of the project – including Indomitable Ventures, formed by Republic FC – would pay for the infrastructure costs up front, then be reimbursed through funds generated by the special tax district. "We're subsidizing the infrastructure by giving a return on property taxes that but for this project wouldn't be generated anyways," McCarty said. If approved by the council, the deal would commit the city to paying more than $90 million to the project developers in the form of future tax revenue from the soccer stadium and central shops. McCarty says construction would start this year if the plan passes. The stadium is planned to be opened by 2027.
