[Press Release: November 6, 2023]
Mansfield, MA, November 6, 2023 – Hilltop Biosciences, Inc (aka Hilltop Bio) is pleased to announce its new partnership with Not One More Vet (NOMV), a U.S.-based non-profit that supports the mental health and well-being of veterinary professionals.
Industry studies suggest that serious psychological distress among veterinary professionals has increased over the last few years. Even more alarming are the higher rates of burnout and suicide among veterinarians and staff. These sobering facts, coupled with veterinarians leaving the profession, make NOMV’s work vitally important.
Not One More Vet (NOMV) envisions a veterinary profession that honors and elevates sustainable well-being. NOMV will transform the status of mental wellness within the profession so veterinary professionals can survive and thrive through education, resources, and support. NOMV has created multiple innovative support systems, including:
- the world’s largest veterinary peer-to-peer support group
- an educational program that focuses on wellness
- a resources program providing both fiscal and referral support
- student support and mentorship
- an online crisis support system specifically designed for veterinary professionals
- a mentally healthy workplace certification program
- outreach and awareness services
NOMV’s Board President and Co-Founder, Dr. Carrie Jurney, stated, “We are all in this profession together, and only by working together can we create a healthy professional culture for ourselves and our colleagues. We could not continue our work without the support of our community, and we are so grateful for HilltopBio’s support of our mission.”
Hilltop Bio’s CEO, Amanda Drobnis, commented, “We are honored to support NOMV and their dedication to supporting the veterinary profession, which has seen increasing numbers of mental health distress and suicide. At Hilltop Bio, we strive to meet the needs of the Whole Veterinary Professional: Practice, Progress, and Peace of Mind. We support your Practice by leveraging the latest in scientific advancements to create cutting-edge regenerative therapies; your Progress by providing free, monthly educational webinars; and your Peace of Mind by partnering with NOMV to support their life-saving work to sustain the well-being of veterinary professionals.
We are initiating our partnership today by pledging to donate $1 for every unit of product we sell at Hilltop Bio. Additionally, we will be matching any donations that are made during the AAEP Conference up to $5,000 at our booth in a few weeks. We are looking forward to supporting NOMV for many years to come.”
About Not One More Vet, Inc
Not One More Vet (NOMV) was founded in 2014 as a Facebook group in response to the death by suicide of a beloved veterinarian, Dr. Sophia Yin. Veterinarians wanted to talk with each other about the mental health issues and difficulties they faced in the profession. The support network grew quickly, and in 2017 NOMV became a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Shortly thereafter, the network was expanded to include support staff and veterinary students in recognition of their needs. NOMV is a community dedicated to improving the well-being of veterinary professionals, students, technicians, and support staff. NOMV also provides pet parents and owners with education about the well-being of the veterinary teams that keep their animals safe and healthy. Learn more at nomv.org
