Cover your team.
Become a Champion Practice.
One annual invoice covers full NYSVMS membership for every veterinarian on your staff - real legal protection, a voice at the Capitol, and support on the issues threatening the profession, not just a line on a benefits list.
You're protecting the practice environment, not just paying for benefits
Champion Practice dues also fund the fight to keep New York a state where veterinarians can still practice - and to fix the shortages threatening every hospital's ability to staff up.
Fighting adverse laws before they pass
NYSVMS lobbies against measures like non-economic damages liability that would expose every practice in the state to uncapped lawsuits.
Straight answers on legal and compliance
24/7 access to authoritative guidance on New York veterinary law, employment, and regulatory questions - not a guess from a forum post.
Unsticking license applications
When a veterinarian's license application stalls with the state, NYSVMS staff can step in and push it through.
Solving the LVT shortage
Through VetTech Forward NY, NYSVMS is tackling the technician shortage members call their #1 challenge.
Three reasons owners cover the whole team
Beyond what any single membership offers, becoming a Champion Practice does something for the practice itself.
Invest in your team
Keeping good veterinarians is the hard part right now. Covering membership is a visible, year-round way to back the people who make your practice work.
One invoice, no chasing
We handle enrollment and renewals for your whole roster on a single annual invoice. No individual sign-ups, no reminders, no lapsed memberships to track.
Recognition that shows
Your hospital is named an NYSVMS Champion Practice, with a certificate to display in your lobby and a place among the practices leading the profession.
All seven member programs, for every veterinarian
Each vet on your roster gets the complete NYSVMS membership - the same seven programs any individual member gets.
