What Makes Us Stand Out?
What sets Ft. Harrison Veterinarians apart is our strong connection to the community and our ability to provide both general practice and urgent care services in an area where emergency options are limited. This means that we see a diverse caseload, where any two days are not the same. Our team is passionate, adaptable, and always eager to learn and grow, ensuring we offer the highest standard of care with a modern, progressive approach. We prioritize hiring for culture as much as skill, fostering a supportive and close-knit environment where teamwork and humor help us navigate the challenges of veterinary medicine together.
The Area
Lawrence, Indiana is a great spot if you’re looking for that sweet spot between a laid-back suburb and easy access to the city. You get all four seasons here—sunny summers, cozy falls, and just enough snow in the winter to make it feel like winter. Fort Harrison State Park is right in town and perfect for weekend hikes, fishing, or just getting outside, and there are some great local restaurants and events popping up, too. The schools are solid, the community’s tight-knit, and it’s the kind of place where you can really settle in and feel at home.
