DoveLewis Opens Second State-of-the-Art Veterinary Facility in Northwest Portland
PORTLAND, OR - DoveLewis, Portland's trusted nonprofit emergency and specialty veterinary hospital, is excited to announce the grand opening of its new 30,000-square-foot facility in the Slabtown neighborhood of Northwest Portland. Designed to meet the growing needs of the community and provide unmatched care for pets, this new facility raises the bar in veterinary medicine and compassionate care for pets in the region.
“This is a momentous milestone for DoveLewis, and most importantly, for the pets and families we serve,” said Ron Morgan, President and CEO of DoveLewis. “This expansion not only allows us to grow alongside our community but also sets a new standard for veterinary care. Whether your pet needs urgent attention, advanced diagnostics, or ongoing specialty care, we’re here to provide the peace of mind and expert treatment every family deserves.”
The new facility will operate in tandem with DoveLewis’ current hospital, located directly across the street. The existing hospital houses its renowned 24/7 emergency room and intensive care unit, as well as an urgent care department. Together, these facilities form a comprehensive hub for veterinary care, ensuring pets receive the highest quality treatment for everything from minor ailments to complex, life-saving procedures, day or night.
A Center Designed for Excellence
The new facility has transformed DoveLewis from a hospital into a comprehensive medical center for pets, supporting a more holistic approach to veterinary care. Expanded capabilities include:
- Faster, More Stress-Free Visits: With more exam rooms, surgery suites, and treatment areas, pets receive prompt attention, reducing wait times and stress for both animals and their families.
- Spaces That Soothe: Spacious waiting areas and private consultation rooms create a calm environment, helping pets and their owners feel more at ease during visits.
- Oregon’s Only 3T MRI for Pets: This groundbreaking 3T MRI revolutionizes veterinary neurology and orthopedics, enabling precise diagnoses and treatments for even the most complex conditions.
- 24/7 Care, Whenever You Need It: Expanded capacity and resources ensure round-the-clock, on-demand care for pets, providing reassurance and life-saving intervention at any hour.
- Off-Street Parking: Convenient underground parking options ensure a smooth arrival and departure for specialty clients, so the focus can be on a pet’s care without the hassle of searching for a spot.
- Room to Grow: The expanded hospital allows DoveLewis to continue to grow and adapt, ensuring they can meet the increasing needs of the community with new services and programs for years to come.
Care for Every Concern
The expanded hospital is not just for the most serious emergencies. DoveLewis is ready to help pet owners navigate every concern, from minor illnesses to chronic conditions, with expert care and support. This new facility reinforces DoveLewis’ role as a trusted partner for all aspects of a pet’s health journey.
Made Possible by Community Generosity
This transformative project was made possible by the generosity of an anonymous donor and community support, enabling DoveLewis to complete construction, acquire state-of-the-art medical equipment, and recruit top-tier veterinary professionals ahead of schedule. “This new facility is a reflection of the incredible compassion and generosity of our community,” said Ron Morgan, President and CEO of DoveLewis. “We are deeply grateful to those who believe in our mission and helped make this vision a reality. Together, we’re building a brighter future for pets and the people who love them.”
