Washington State University’s College of Nursing and College of Veterinary Medicine once again joined forces for the Healthy People + Healthy Pets clinic, held on April 17, 2025, at the WSU Spokane Campus.
The clinic offered free, compassionate care to individuals experiencing homelessness, living in shelters or transitional housing—and their pets. Attendees received vital health resources, from blood pressure screenings to vaccinations, reinforcing the value of integrated care for vulnerable populations.
Volunteers from both colleges filled the pop-up clinic with energy and compassion, delivering a wide range of services.
Final counts from the spring 2025 event:
Human health services included screenings such as blood pressure and blood glucose checks, as well as consultations. Pets received wellness exams, core vaccinations, parasite prevention, and essential supplies like food, collars, leashes, and toys.
The event underscored the commitment of WSU students, faculty, and partners to care for those who often go without, while recognizing the deep bond between people and their pets.
Sponsors for the 2025 clinic included: Spokane Teacher’s Credit Union (STCU), Spokane Regional Health District (SRHD), Range Community Clinic. Pet vaccines and medications provided by Boehringer Ingelheim, Elanco, and Dechra.
