What would your life be like without on call?

Trillium Equine was founded to be a part of the solution to the issues facing equine veterinarians today.  While working as an equine veterinarian can be a very rewarding career choice, it has become increasingly difficult to attract new veterinarians and retain existing ones.  This has been attributed in part to the long hours, including out-of-hours/emergency coverage, which often leads to a compromised work-life balance.  Dr. Jenna Donaldson was inspired to found Trillium Equine to help alleviate the everyday stress of equine veterinarians so they can live their best life - both personally and professionally.

Launched in 2022, Trillium is a unique model of after-hours care in southern Ontario, Canada. Member practicesa pay a monthly subscription fee and staff veterinarians are compensated for their time on call covering Trillium shifts. Dr. Donaldson has been featured on “The Veterinary Project Podcast” and “My Veterinary Life” (a podcast run by the American Veterinary Medical Association) where she discussed details of Trillium Equine.
