Word from the Dean
This issue of the Outlook covers our annual scholarship gala, “A Tribute to
Caring,”which was held in honor of VCA Antech, Inc. for its advancement of the
veterinary profession and its role in protecting the public health of our society.
“A Tribute to Caring” was held Saturday, Nov. 5, 2016, at the Disneyland Hotel in
Anaheim, Calif. Although VCA was co-founded by Robert Antin, Arthur Antin, and
Neil Tauber, Robert Antin was acknowledged as the representative of this forward-
thinking entrepreneurial group. The Western University of Health Sciences Board of
Trustees awarded VCA with the Corporate Award for Excellence in Health Care.

global population.
The occasion also served as an opportunity
for the College of Veterinary Medicine to
extol the role of veterinarians as legitimate members of the health professions team
and our important role in protecting the public health. From the admission of the
veterinary oath taken by every graduate veterinarian – to the actions of every
practicing veterinarian, regardless of practice area – veterinarians serve as guardians
on the nexus of diseases that affect animals and humans.
Any developments that improve the delivery of health care or directly improves health (regardless of species) exerts a global impact in medical care
in ways that are difficult to grasp and comprehend. Every practitioner in the medical arts contributes to the amalgamated effort. VCA was selected
by Western University of Health Sciences as a testament to the expanding recognition of the breadth of health care activities required to achieve the
“well-being” we all desire.
Congratulations to Bob, Art, Neil, and all VCA professionals and staff for receiving this important award. It is well deserved! Thank you for being
such a supportive partner of Western University of Health Sciences College of Veterinary Medicine.
