Our Involvement in the Community of the Upper East Side
Dr. Keith Manning and the entire staff of East Side Animal Hospital believe that it is impossible for a caring and thriving veterinary practice to be separate or excluded from the community it serves. We all live in this diverse and vibrant area of Manhattan and love it for all that is has to offer, which includes strong and cohesive Upper East Side communities. Without our friends and neighbors we simply would not be what we are today.
For these reasons we enjoy being a good neighbor and take every opportunity to do our part to sustain and strengthen the communities that make up the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Members of our staff routinely participate in numerous charitable events and activities throughout the year.
In particular, East Side Animal Hospital works to help sustain and support three nonprofit animal welfare organizations: Friends of Animals, Muffin’s Pet Connection, and Maddie’s Fund. Dr. Manning also serves on the Executive Board of Bideawee, one of the oldest humane adoption societies in the United States. He is a past president and executive board member of the NYC Veterinary Medical Association, has served as president of NY SAVE for 10 years, and is on the Advisory Board of the LaGuardia Community College Veterinary Technician program.
Additionally, Dr. Manning's work to support the efforts of these many humane societies in and around Manhattan as well as his compassionate practice of veterinary medicine earned him recognition as Veterinarian of the Year in 1998 by the NYC Veterinary Medical Association.
In all, East Side Animal Hospital is very proud of our contributions—both in volunteer hours and financial—to the Manhattan communities we serve. We are but one patch of a very large quilt of people, pets and organizations helping to sustain and make where we live a better place to be.
