OCEPC is dedicated to promoting ongoing education within our local veterinary community. We aim to exchange knowledge with your team, sharing our expertise while also learning from your insights and experiences.

Examples of actively referring clients include:
- Sending patients for overnight or weekend care.
- Posting our information on your front door and/or on your website for after-hours care. Placing our brochures in your lobby.
- Providing our information to your clients in the form of partnership magnets, business cards, brochures, etc.
