Building Connections and Celebrating Community in Knoxville

Earlier this month, our VetEvolve Knoxville region practices came together for an evening of continuing education, dinner, and a chance to unwind at the Knoxville Zoo. Surrounded by the sights and sounds of the animals as well as good company, it was the perfect blend of learning and relaxation.

The event brought together 13 doctors and more than 50 team members from five of our local practices. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces gathered in one place, not just as colleagues but as part of a larger community united by the same mission: providing outstanding care for pets and the people who love them.

For Regional Manager Karen Rohde, who is preparing to retire soon, the turnout was a meaningful reminder of the strong bonds built across our practices over the years. “Seeing so many of our doctors, technicians, and support staff gathered together filled me with pride,” Karen shared. “This is what makes our region special, the way we support one another and keep building connections that go beyond our hospital walls.”

As VetEvolve continues to grow in Tennessee, we are committed to nurturing these connections, not only within our teams but also throughout the communities we serve. Events like this remind us that when we invest in each other, we are better equipped to deliver compassionate, high-quality care to every pet and family who walks through our doors.
