Celebrating 50 years of Service: Animal Hospital of Statesville's Anniversary Event
On Saturday, November 9, 2024, the Animal Hospital of Statesville proudly opened its doors to the public for a special 50th Anniversary Celebration. The event, attended by approximately 100 people, was a joyous occasion to commemorate five decades of dedicated care for pets and their families in the local community.
Attendees were treated to an afternoon filled with education, fun, and a deep sense of community. Highlights included a Facebook Live session with AHS owners Dr. Chip Cooney and Crisi Cooney, as well as a milestone ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Greater Statesville Chamber of Commerce. The original founders of the Animal Hospital, Pat and Dr. Dave Parks, also attended. Guests enjoyed signing a guest book, indulging in delicious cake, and witnessing live medical demonstrations using stuffed animals and foods! The hospital and our vendor representatives also provided freebies to attendees, such as koozies, socks, temporary tattoos, dog bandanas, and much more. A guided tour of the hospital provided a look into the past, present and exciting future of Animal Hospital of Statesville.
"We were thrilled to see the great turnout for our 50th Anniversary Celebration Saturday, " Dr. Cooney said. "The cherry on top was having Dr. Dave and Pat Parks, who are the original owners of the Animal Hospital of Statesville, who came to visit for the festivities. We are honored to have served the Statesville community for 50 years and we are committed to providing excellent patient care and customer service for many years to come."
The celebration also offered a sneak peek into the future with exciting news about the hospital's expansion. In 2025, the Animal Hospital of Statesville will be opening a second location on South Main Street in Troutman, appropriately named Animal Hospital on South Main!
Additionally, the event marked the debut of the hospital's new logo and refreshed branding, which reflects the hospital's continued growth and dedication to providing top-quality veterinary care. The Animal Hospital of Statesville would like to thank the following for their assistance in our rebranding: interior designer Kim Edwards, painter Dennis Brown, wallpaper and handyman Michael Ayers, mural artist Pat Edwards, and etched glass logo and outdoor signage by Sir Speedy.
