Nellis opens new, improved veterinary treatment facility
by Airman 1st Class Bryan Guthrie
Nellis AFB, Nev.
A new veterinary treatment facility opened Nov. 14 on Nel- lis Air Force Base, Nev.
The facility is double the size of the previous building, and has improved equip- ment to treat more than a dozen military working dogs, between Nellis and Creech, as well as service members’ animals.
The Air Force Medical Service reduced the carbon footprint by utilizing a pre- existing building on base. The facility’s 3,600 square feet in- corporates a new digital x-ray, an additional procedure room, piped medical gas and back-up power for the surgical suit.
The Army Veterinary Corps technicians and staff take care of Nellis and Creech’s MWD to make sure that the bases are well defended.
