Rio Vista Veterinary Hospital


Rio Vista Veterinary Hospital was established in 1987 at its current location by Dr. Keith Scudder. The property used had been in the Scudder family for generations. Placed adjacent to the Cohcoton River, the name Rio Vista, a Spanish term meaning “river view”, fit appropriately. In those early days, the hospital was surrounded by a rich area of agriculture and was a mainstay for veterinary care for large animals in the community.
