Veterinarian - Lacey WA

Hawks Prairie Veterinary Hospital

About the Role

 

WORK-LIFE BALANCE. If this caught your eye, let me tell you more about a hospital that truly believes in this! Hawks Prairie Veterinary Hospital is located in gorgeous Lacey, Washington. Yep, the Pacific Northwest!  What’s not to love? Hawks is a full-service small animal hospital with 6 associates who are looking for that 7th ‘unicorn’ veterinarian—you know the one, who has some experience under their belt, is hard-working but also fun-loving, is compassionate, has a great sense of humor and who plays well with others.

 

Does that sound like you? Then read on…we have the usual bells and whistles you’d expect:

  • Digital dental X-ray,
  • 2 surgery suites,
  • in-house labs as well as send-out services,
  • ultrasound,
  • radio-surgical unit,
  • medical laser
  • and more.

But it’s what else we offer that sets us apart:

  • We offer a place where you’re working with other vets who are happy to teach, but also happy to learn as well.
  • Our vets have their special interests, including acupuncture & herbal therapy, advanced surgeries, pocket pet medicine, behavior & ultrasonography. If you have a specific interest, we’ll help you grow it. Because when we stop learning, we start stagnating.
  • The amazing support staff! We’re a big hospital (literally, almost 7,000 square feet!) with almost 30 awesome employees to support our doctors.
  • We are firm believers in being a teaching hospital. We believe in teaching at every level, and have staff who have grown within the hospital to become exceptional CSRs, wonderful vet assistants and doctor’s assistants (yes, each vet has their own assistant!), and amazing LVTs!

 

 


Where We Are

About Lacey, WA: 

  • With lakes, parks, golf courses, and a vast nature preserve in proximity to the state capital and Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Lacey finds a balance between outdoors attractions and the amenities of a city with a young and active workforce, not to mention the student body at St. Martin’s University and South Puget Sound Community College.
  • Staying true to its past, today Lacey’s burgeoning Producer's District has locally created beer and wine on tap. Pair that with an exciting food scene, namely, the growing Depot District, a designated food truck space that has proven popular with Lacey’s locals.
  • If you’re up for an epicurean adventure, hop in the car—or on a bike—and set off on the Thurston Bountiful Byway, a 60-mile journey of eats and sips around Thurston County.
  • But before you hit up Lacey’s food and drink scene, work up an appetite exploring Lacey's great outdoors!

What's In It For You
