Dedicated Equine- 24 hour emergency referral medical and surgical center.
Monday, March 23, 2020
Coosa Valley Equine Center has been proud to provide essential health care services to the equine community since 1987 -- over 33 years. Our goal is to continue to provide those services as long as there are horses to be cared for!!! In the current almost unbelievable circumstances, we find it necessary to make some modifications in how we go about our daily work:
• Most importantly -- our hospital doors will be open to EVERY horse in need of urgent & emergency care as has been our policy since 1st opening those doors.
• Horses in need of care for health, injury & comfort will be seen on an appointment basis as well.
• We will be compacting our clinic hours to reduce exposure of our staff, their families as well as our clients to the unpredictable CoVid19 that has infiltrated our lives.
• Clinic hours will be 8AM until 2PM Monday through Friday. Full clinical support will be available during that time. This includes our Business Office as well.
• "After Hours" situations will be handled as they have in the past.
• We do ask that "routine care" (vaccinations, dental care, health exams, etc.) be postponed until this human health crisis has subsided.
We are in hopes this policy will help protect us all from excessive risk of exposure to the CoVid19 virus. We must all remember that a clinical case in our hospital staff could force a 2 week suspension of ALL services including emergencies. Please understand & respect our concerns for all who would be affected by such a situation. We are taking these steps to help maintain our ability to support you & your horses during these trying times.
Remember, if you have a situation that urgent or emergency care at ANY time, please contact us through the usual channels, starting with a phone call to 205 338-1111.
Cheers, IMEM
