Letter from the President – July 2021

Alfred Mina, DVM
HVMA President

We are half way through 2021.  The HVMA Executive Board continues to work on improving veterinary services in the islands. There is still an increasing need for veterinary specialists as well as general practitioners, and we look forward to working with DVMs from the class of 2021 and others that want to relocate to Hawai’i . If you know of any new graduates from Hawai’i or those thinking of relocating here feel free to contact the HVMA for support.

Thank you to those who continue to support HVMA.  A lot of this is done through membership dues. If you haven’t renewed your membership yet, please feel free to follow the link.

Please don’t forget to check in on our online CE provided by HVMA.  Let us know if there are any specific topics that we can look into for future presentations.

It is hurricane season, so be prepared and make sure you have a natural disaster kit, including food and medical supplies, for your pets.

Please continue to stay safe with the Covid Delta variant during this pandemic and hope to see you all soon!

Sincerely,
Alfred J. Mina, DVM
