About This Event
Ram Talks are a mashup of CSU expertise and active community conversation, unleashing the creative insights and eye-opening shakeup that comes from taking a fresh look at the world around us. Time Join us at 5:00 p.m. for snacks and refreshments. The program starts at 5:30 p.m. and will conclude at 6:30 p.m. Food & Drink Light snacks & non-alcoholic beverages provided Topic Veterinary care is becoming increasingly out of reach for many pet owners across Colorado and the nation. In this interactive talk, explore the diverse and often invisible barriers that prevent families from accessing veterinary services; from cost and transportation to language and trust. Learn why equitable access to care is vital for animal welfare, community health, and veterinary sustainability. Dr. Ciccolini & Dr. Frey will share innovative initiatives, including programs here at CSU, that are helping bridge the gap, and they want to engage with your ideas, too!
