Good morning,
We are saddened to post that MEAC will be closed for the upcoming holiday due to the shortage of DVM coverage.
MEAC will be closed from 8am December 24th through Friday December 26th 6pm.
Attached you will find alternative options for after- hour care you can share with your clients. This is a decision we did NOT want to have to make, but all options have been exhausted. We are truly sorry for this inconvenience. We want to wish our community a happy, safe and enjoyable holiday. Merry Christmas
