Ramona talks to her younger sister Rhesa Houston, DVM, Founder and CEO of Assistance Animals Consulting (AAC), who explains how AAC partners with health care professionals and organizations to serve as a veterinary resource for any human-animal intervention treatment plans.
After realizing there was a gap between veterinarians, health care professionals, support animals, and the patients they serve, Dr Houston formed AAC. AAC creates an integrated team approach to a patient's health by facilitating successful human-animal bond treatment plans, all while ensuring the health and welfare of the support animal.
Dr Houston also discusses the need for more Black and Brown veterinarians in the profession.
