You see, transparency is key at Northpointe Veterinary Hospital in Yuba City, California.“Our old doctor communication center used to be way in the back of the hospital, and now it's in the center of everything,” says Steven Sanders, DVM, owner of this general practice and 24/7 emergency hospital. “Everyone can see where everyone is-there's glass all over the hospital.”Add in high-quality finishes and a stellar floor plan, and it's easy to see why the judges dubbed Northpointe the clear winner of the 2018 dvm360 Hospital Design Competition's General Practice Hospital of the Year award.Find out how Dr. Sanders and his team designed their new 9,419-square-foot space so they could keep an eye on their patients and each other.Curb appeal: After 40-plus years, Northpointe Veterinary Hospital had totally outgrown its old space. "We made a decision to move into a larger facility and didn't have room to build out, so I found a location right off the highway which is better for us with our emergency work," says Dr. Steven Sanders, owner of Northpointe. The 9,419-square-foot practice was designed with 45 parking spots, a loading and delivery area, biofiltration landscaping and outdoor patio yards, along with play and exercise. Show less

Photos courtesy of Cody TracyIn 1978 Dr. Oehmke opened El Paso Animal Hospital in Derby, Kansas, with zero clients. But soon after, his 1,200-square-foot, two-exam-room practice was filled with clients, lined up outside the doors to get their pets vaccinated for parvo.And starting at zero, Dr. Oehmke didn't bother taking appointments. Even when his practice grew enough that he hired an associate 10 years later-one who eventually became a co-owner-he kept to the walk-in practice strategy.Now, 40 years later, Dr. Oehmke and that associate-turned-owner, Dr. Jeff Herod, have built their business on providing exceptional care in a no-appointment practice. The 1,200-square-foot facility eventually turned into 2,800 square feet. And a few years ago, bursting at the seams, the doctors had to make a decision: get out of business or build a bigger facility.Finally, in May 2018, the pair opened the doors on their new 8,878-square-foot practice, with eight exam rooms, a sprawling reception area with a refreshment station and a dual-surgery suite with tons of natural lighting. In January 2019, they won a Merit Award in the 2019 dvm360 Hospital Design Competition (and even the People's Choice Award).By the numbers: El Paso Animal Hospital in Derby, KansasOwners: Drs.
