Growing a Green Practice
September 1, 2014
We are pleased to have been featured in this article for our green efforts and we commend the other included veterinarians for their eco-friendly practices.
As the article states . ..
“Ohana Pet Hospital, a five-doctor private practice in Ventura, California, went the new construction route in a leasehold space when it had the opportunity to do a startup practice.
One challenge was finding a model veterinary hospital that had done an ecofriendly renovation or build. “In our industry, not a lot of people build veterinary hospitals with this in mind,” said Dr. Janis Shinkawa, one of the practice’s co-owners.
Through networking with the Ventura Chamber of Commerce’s Green Task Force, she found a like-minded design consultant and others who guided the practice through the green building process. The new facility features zero-emission paints, use of natural lighting and light-emitting diodes, and recycled glass countertops, among other environmentally conscious options.”
