(Atlantic, Iowa) – On Thursday, April 11th, 2024, the Atlantic Area Chamber Ambassadors were hosted by Atlantic Animal Health Center to celebrate 10 years of business.

Doctors Kate and Pat Hoffmann purchased Atlantic Animal Health Center from Dr. Keith Leonard in 2014, and the practice has continued to grow and change since the beginning. Dr. Kate Hoffmann shared the first upgrade that was made to the practice was purchasing gas anesthesia and the practice has continued to upgrade their diagnostic capabilities such as in-house lab work and digital x-ray. The most recent changes to the clinic include an online pharmacy, user friendly patient portal app, and client communications such as two-way texting.

Looking forward, the Hoffmann’s have purchased property on the west side of Atlantic, with plans to build a new office building. The plans are in the very early stages, but the Hoffmann’s are excited to extend the footprint of the clinic to serve more patients and attract more employees.
