This is more than a leadership role; it's an opportunity to build and lead a practice with the full backing of an established network. As the Founding Partner & Lead Veterinarian, you will be the cornerstone of the hospital, responsible for establishing a gold-standard medical culture, mentoring your team, and driving the business's success as a true owner. You'll have the rare opportunity to build an urgent care hospital where demand for convenient, high-quality veterinary care when pets need it most is backed by a well-educated, affluent community.
Built Different: The Livewell Model
Each Livewell location is carefully selected based on strong demographic, market, and growth data, to give each Founding hire and the hospital the best chance for long-term success. Livewell Animal Urgent Care of Leawood will be located at Leawood Village, a premiere mixed-use development in the heart of old Leawood, Kansas, featuring luxury apartments, high-end townhomes, retail shops, restaurants, and office space.
Livewell Animal Urgent Care hospitals are full-service hospitals offering extended hours. Our veterinarians work cases and perform surgery on site, so pets that need prompt attention can be seen, diagnosed, and treated under one roof with the support of an established network behind the hospital.
Leawood is part of the Kansas City metro, surrounded by established neighborhoods and anchored by major employers and institutions, including the University of Kansas Health System, St. Joseph Medical Center, Black & Veatch, C2FO, and Burns & McDonnell. With shopping centers such as Ward Parkway Center, Ranch Mart, Corinth Square, and Mission Farms nearby, this is a dense, educated, affluent population with the spending power and lifestyle to support premium veterinary care.
