St Joe Center Veterinary Hospital

Drs. David Thoma and Roy Coolman established the St. Joe Center Veterinary Hospital in 1967. On Maplecrest Road, St. Joe initially operated out of a repurposed grain elevator. Since then, there have been a lot of changes. St. Joe relocated into the structure that is presently home to NIVES in 1992. In 1996, we started offering round-the-clock emergency services to raise the standard of veterinary care in the neighborhood. In order to operate as a full-service veterinary hospital with a focus on primary care, St. Joe eventually split off from the Emergency and Specialty Hospital and relocated to our current facility in 2004.
