TVMA Participates in the Tennessee Health Joint Information Center

In collaboration with the Tennessee Department of Health, TVMA is participating along with other health-related professional associations in the Tennessee Health Joint Information Center initiative.  The goal of the THJIC is to develop and coordinate the dissemination of information to key audiences during emergencies, disasters, and infectious disease breakouts.  By forming the group now, plans can be made to help preserve life and property, reduce suffering and help with recovery efforts when it is needed.  We thank Drs. Randy Hammon of Chattanooga and Philip Gordon of Thompson's Station for representing TVMA on the THJIC.

Veterinarians and Suicide Study 

Veterinarians are at an increased risk of suicide. The mental well-being of our veterinary community is of paramount importance to us all. To learn more about veterinarian experiences with psychological distress in Tennessee, the Tennessee Department of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Auburn University are working together to survey veterinarians in our state.

You are cordially invited to complete this electronic survey by clicking on the link here. The survey takes only about 10
minutes to complete, and is voluntary and anonymous. Your responses will help inform key stakeholders about the mental health needs of veterinarians in Tennessee.

Thank you very much for helping us to learn more how we can better assist veterinarians in need in Tennessee.
