Message from Adena Robertson, DVM, President, New Mexico Veterinary Medical Association
Dear Colleagues,
Veterinary medicine in New Mexico is at a critical crossroads.
Across the country — and in states surrounding us — legislation is being considered that could redefine who provides veterinary care and how. Some of these proposals would weaken the standards that protect our patients, our clients, and our profession.
Here in New Mexico, we have an opportunity to lead, protect, and strengthen our profession — but only if we stand together.
That’s why NMVMA’s Power of We campaign matters. It’s a reminder that the future of veterinary medicine in New Mexico isn’t something that happens to us — it’s something we shape, together. If you are a current member, thank you.
Your support fuels the advocacy that defends our right to practice, the continuing education that strengthens our skills, and the community that keeps us resilient.You are the reason NMVMA can show up at the Capitol, in regulatory meetings, and across the state — standing up for veterinary medicine every day.
