Harbor Point Animal Hospital in Mooresville, North Carolina, has been named the 2025 Accredited Practice of the Year (APOY) by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). The award recognizes veterinary practice that set the standard for excellence in medicine, leadership, and client care, and was presented to the honoree at AAHA Con ’25 in Chicago, Illinois.1AAHA is the only accrediting body for veterinary hospitals, requiring accredited hospitals to meet more than 900 rigorous standards across areas such as anesthesia, pain management, surgery, diagnostics, safety, and client communication. The practice is deeply rooted in the Mooresville community as partners with local rescue groups, supporting other small businesses, and participating in regional events.1“We hold ourselves to a high standard because we believe our patients deserve the best medical care, every time. We’re passionate about being different in the best way—reducing fear, anxiety, and stress wherever we can, while holding ourselves accountable to doing things the right way, not just the easy way,” Vermillion said in an interview with AAHA.2Its recently renovated facility, state-of-the-art equipment, and expanding client base from the thriving Lake Norman region position the practice for continued growth. As part of that growth, Harbor Point is welcoming applications from associate veterinarians, credentialed veterinary technicians, and veterinary assistants eager to join its award-winning team, according to the hospital.1References
