Who is VetEvolve?

VetEvolve is a network of veterinary practices built to support the people delivering care and the practices they lead. We combine clinical insight with operational strength to give our teams the support, tools, and structure they need to thrive, without losing what makes each practice unique. We are intentionally focused on growth, not as an end in itself, but as a way to strengthen our practices, expand access to care, and create more opportunities for our teams.

Guided by our values: Care First. Better Together. Grow Forward. Own It. We create an environment where veterinary professionals can do their best work, build meaningful careers, and deliver exceptional care. Growth with intention. Care without compromise.

About the hospital:

Compassionate Veterinary Care in Boynton Beach

At

Colonial Animal Hospital and Colonial Gateway Veterinary Center, caring for pets has always been personal. What began as a neighborhood practice has grown into two connected animal hospitals, but our philosophy remains the same — relationships come first.

We take time to listen, answer questions, and help you feel confident in every decision about your pet’s care. Many families have trusted us through multiple pets and life stages, and we’re grateful to be part of those journeys.

Today, we continue serving Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County, and surrounding South Florida communities with the welcoming atmosphere and dependable medical care that built our reputation.

What we offer externs:

• Stipend to offset the cost of housing and travel
• Mentorship from eager and experienced veterinarians
• Opportunities to connect with multiple VetEvolve practices

“

They allow me the freedom to practice as I see fit…We can make almost all of our main decisions ourselves, at the clinic level. Their up front focus on honesty and improving over time keeps surprising me each time they demonstrate it. Veterinary medicine is not always the prettiest, easiest, happiest, or most satisfying line of work as we all know, but I can't imagine doing it for any other group. VetEvolve has been able to retain a small feel over time, as it grows, which is huge for me.”
