Summary

In June 2015, veterinarian Jeff Powers reported that new Health Center protocols had limited his access to the facility’s x-ray processor to regular office hours. He said the restriction conflicted with veterinary appointments held after hours and on weekends, and he considered raising $10,000–$15,000 for an independent digital processor.

Evidence limits

This record preserves a first-person professional account and a proposed response. It does not establish the Health Center’s policy independently, the number of affected cases, a fundraiser, a purchase, or the later availability of veterinary radiology.
