CARE Employment Application
We appreciate your interest in joining the CARE Team! Our mission is to provide our patients and clients with exceptional veterinary care, while maintaining a safe, fun, and positive environment for our team members, that promotes work-life balance and ensures their mental and physical well-being.
Our History
Coastal Animal Referral Emergency (CARE) was founded by Melissa Krause, a doctor of veterinary medicine and native of Seaford, Virginia in 2021. Dr. Krause became aware through her experience working at many different veterinary hospitals that a common thread existed among veterinarians, management, and support staff: compassion fatigue and “burnout”. Dr. Krause envisioned a veterinary practice where team members were cared for, both mentally and physically, and where the idea of a work-life balance would be promoted and supported by the practice. When the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 was at its peak, veterinary practices were hit particularly hard while attempting to provide services amongst staffing issues and an influx of patients and clients. Dr. Krause saw more than ever the need for a new type of veterinary practice; one that would help to handle the overflow of pets needing after hours or same day care, while maintaining strong relationships with the referring veterinary community, and striving to ensure its team members mental and physical well-being, all while practicing the highest standard of medicine.
Our Philosophy
Those who have chosen to work in the veterinary field are some of the most passionate, skilled members of the medical community. Unfortunately, this also means they are at an extreme risk for compassion fatigue and “burnout”, more so than many professions, and therefore need a supportive, safe work environment led by a management team that promotes the mental and physical well-being of its associates through ensuring a healthy work-life balance. CARE. was founded on the philosophy that veterinary professionals deserve the support of their workplace so that they can continuously provide the compassionate, lifesaving care they give to their patients and clients every day.
