VCA Voice Veterinary Podcast

Join in the conversation as Dr. Kerl welcomes Jose Limon, a hospital manager for VCA's West Coast region and an army veteran currently in active duty military service. Jose's incredible career journey started with VCA at the West Los Angeles Veterinary Medical Group in 1990 when VCA consisted of only three hospitals. Between 1990 and 1996, Jose was promoted from runner to Tech Assistant, to Veterinary Assistant, to Tech Lead, to Tech Supervisor. In 1996, Jose was offered the position of Director of Technical Services. For the next 5 years, Jose worked in support of all matters related to Tech Support team members and hospital inventory.
After the September 11th attacks, Jose joined the Army as an Active-Duty Aviator providing support through the use of the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter. He served two rotations through Iraq between 2004 - 2007 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. In 2017, after 15 years away, Jose returned to the West LA Animal Hospital as the Director of Operations and later that year was offered the role of Hospital Administrator. Today, Jose can be found at the VCA West Coast Specialty Emergency Animal Hospital in Fountain Valley, CA.
Jose continues to serve our nation with the Army Reserves based out of Los Alamitos, CA. His current role is that of a MEDEVAC Aviator providing support in theater and state-side operations.
