<p>I’m an investigative reporter with a focus on the intersection of money and health care. I have a dog named Gerald.</p>
<p>Pets these days are just like us. They get birthday cakes, day care and rubber boots to wear in the snow. Their health care is becoming more human, too — for better and for worse.</p>
<p>Decades ago, animal care was relatively rudimentary. Veterinarians usually owned their own clinics, and the options to treat a sick or injured pet were limited. Today, animal hospitals are equipped with expensive magnetic resonance imaging machines, round-the-clock critical care units and teams of specialists in cancer, cardiology and neurology. For pets and the people who love them, the advances are welcome.</p>
<p>But as animals’ health care has changed to more closely resemble our own, it has also taken on some of the problems of the human system, including the biggest one: cost. The price of veterinary care has soared more than 60 percent over the past decade, outpacing inflation. Private equity firms have snapped up hundreds of independent clinics, in a trend reminiscent of corporate roll-ups of doctors’ offices. Veterinarians around the country told me that they worry this is changing the way that they practice, as they face growing pressure to push costly treatments and order more tests.</p>
<p>The changed landscape means that even as veterinarians can do more for dogs and cats than ever before, pet owners face sometimes heartbreaking decisions about whether they can afford the care. (<a class="yiv1759025983css-sdwaa1" href="https://nl.nytimes.com/f/newsletter/5rgi0Hc4EsT3TG6a1baT4A~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoWofhP0RtaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wNi8yMy9oZWFsdGgvcGV0cy12ZXRlcmluYXJ5LWJpbGxzLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDI0MDYyM1cDbnl0QgpmdOECeGafkQJ6UhdwYXVsLnNsYWRrdXMxQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Read more in our story on the topic</a>.)</p>
<h2>Changes in the industry</h2>
<p>About one-quarter of primary care clinics and three-quarters of specialty clinics are owned by corporations, according to Brakke Consulting, which focuses on the animal health industry. Sometimes, the corporate ownership is not obvious: Many private equity firms do not change the name of the vet clinic when they take it over.</p>
<p>Most veterinarians are paid, at least in part, based on how much money they bring into a practice, whether that is by ordering tests, selling prescription dog food or performing procedures. One veterinarian said she quit her job after she was told her “cost per client” was too low; another said she was told she needed to see 21 animals a day, about a half-dozen more than her current workload.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/pet_health_care_2.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-85067 aligncenter" src="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/pet_health_care_2.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="750" srcset="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/pet_health_care_2.jpg 750w, https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/pet_health_care_2-300x300.jpg 300w, https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/pet_health_care_2-150x150.jpg 150w, https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/pet_health_care_2-80x80.jpg 80w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></a><span class="yiv1759025983css-9ddn05">Retired veterinarian David Roos and his dog, Chester. </span>Mike Kai Chen for The New York Times</p>
<p>Other veterinarians said the pressure had no influence on the care they provided. In interviews, they said they bore the brunt of pet owners’ complaints, even when they have little to do with setting prices. Veterinarians <a class="yiv1759025983css-sdwaa1" href="https://nl.nytimes.com/f/a/l9AJHF3PZx1cMh6GOYV9HQ~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoWofhP0RWaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmxzLmdvdi9vZXMvY3VycmVudC9vZXMyOTExMzEuaHRtP3RlPTEmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyNDA2MjNXA255dEIKZnThAnhmn5ECelIXcGF1bC5zbGFka3VzMUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">make</a> far less money than <a class="yiv1759025983css-sdwaa1" href="https://nl.nytimes.com/f/a/pp2TwFgR5iP3f0meaoIR2A~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoWofhP0RWaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmxzLmdvdi9vZXMvY3VycmVudC9vZXMyOTEyMTYuaHRtP3RlPTEmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyNDA2MjNXA255dEIKZnThAnhmn5ECelIXcGF1bC5zbGFka3VzMUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">doctors</a> for humans, and are also often in debt from years of education. Prices have gone up partly because of the rising cost of drugs, vaccines and other supplies, as well as worker salaries in a tight labor market.</p>
<p>One veterinarian I interviewed, Dr. Pam Nichols of South Jordan, Utah, has seen the transformation firsthand. When she was starting out in the 1990s, she said she used to sneak dachshunds into the human hospital where her father was a radiologist to give them M.R.I. scans. If the dog needed surgery, the bill would be about $2,000. Now, she said, a similar dog might get an M.R.I. and a CT scan, and will probably be operated on by a specialist who is assisted by several nurses. The cost could reach $10,000.</p>
<h2>Tough choices for owners</h2>
<p>Veterinary care differs from human health care in one big way: Most pet owners pay out of their own pocket — and in full — before leaving the vet’s office. While pet insurance is available, only a small percentage of pet owners have it.</p>
<p>A generation ago, pet owners with a seriously ill animal may have had little choice but to opt for euthanasia if they wanted to relieve their pet’s suffering. Now, they must choose between extending the animal’s life and going into what can be debilitating debt, or letting an animal die. I spoke to some pet owners who were still paying off credit card debt years after their animals had died. And animal welfare groups said owners frequently relinquished their pets to shelters because they couldn’t afford veterinary bills.</p>
<p>For many people, though, the sacrifices are worth it. That was the case for Claire Kirsch, who was earning less than $10 an hour as a veterinary technician in Georgia when her own dog, Roscoe, and her horse, Gambit, each had medical emergencies, resulting in bills that totaled more than $13,000. The animals would have died if she had not opted for the additional care. She took a higher-paying job, maxed out a credit card and tapped into her husband’s retirement account to pay off the debt.</p>
<p>“I knew I would never be able to forgive myself if we didn’t try,” she said.</p>

<p>Young Global Leadership Foundation was proud to present pianist, DR. CHEN WANG&#8217;s, Journey to Love &amp; Peace on Sunday, October 23, 2022, at 7:30pm to a full house at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall. This marked her New York Concert Debut which was met with great admiration and applause. The concert was sponsored by the Young Global Leadership Foundation with UN NGO ECOSOC Special Consultative Status, together with Michigan State University School of Music, Australian International Culture Industries Association, Global Stress Initiative, Global Corporate Social Responsibility Foundation, Global Wealth Elite Club, International Strategies Alliance &amp; Good News Network, to name a few. The recital promoted awareness, advocacy &amp; action for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG&#8217;s) &amp; launched the recital tour that Wang is performing this year.<br />
<a href="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Carnegie-Solo-Recital-scaled.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-79785" src="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Carnegie-Solo-Recital-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Photo credit: Jeff Smith</span></p>
<p>Wang performed Lizst&#8217;s Liebestraume and Chinese classics from the Tang Dynasty with great passion and brilliance. TONY and Award Winning Broadway Producer of “Passing Strange”, Regional Theater and Film , Vasi Laurence states:</p>
<p>“In difficult life moments, music can be a way to express who you are and Chen excels in that. Her playing is powerful and compelling and transports you on a very visceral level from deep reflection and calm to feeling joyful and exultant. Chen&#8217;s versatility and choice of music by Franz Liszt illustrates her ability to play some of the most technically difficult music that has ever been composed for piano&#8230;and the inclusion of music from the Tang Dynasty (which was the Golden Age of culture and the arts) was beautiful and exquisite. Chen is a fascinating and unique pianist who mesmerized the audience for ninety minutes. During intermission a patron turned to me and said, “She has magic fingers. She is magnificent.” I am sure that we will see and hear more of Chen Wang on the global concert stage. Congresswoman Grace Meng issued her a certificate of Outstanding and Invaluable Service to the Community.<br />

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Photo credit: Jeff Smith</span></p>
<p>A patron stated:<br />
“The program Dr. Wang offered was important to note as it was at the top level in piano repertoire in terms of musicality and technical difficulty. The success of her performance can be attributed to Dr. Wang’s reputation as a promising and respected talent in piano performance. The extreme difficulty of the repertoire, which included Franz Liszt’s Soirées de Vienne, S.427, No. 6 (Valses caprices d’après Schubert), Three Petrach Sonnets from Années de pèlerinage, S.161, Second Year, and “La danza from Soirées musicales de Rossini, S. 424 gained the attention of music aficionados. Pianists must possess outstanding skills to execute the works of Liszt successfully. Dr. Wang met that challenge. Her extraordinary musical expression was truly effective in delivering the dramatic impact to the audience which warranted two standing ovations after the last piece finished.<br />
Her musicianship was fine and profound, with strong and well controlled connections of all phrases. Her rare skills allow her to deliver music in ways others cannot and distinguishes her from other musicians.”<br />

Chinese pianist Chen Wang began her piano studies at the age of five &amp; was admitted to the middle school affiliated with Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing at the age of eleven. She continued her studies in the United States with famous pianists &amp; educators including Deborah Moriarty, Panayis Lyras, Stephen Drury &amp; William Heiles at the New England Conservatory, U niversity of Illinois at Urbana Champaign &amp; Michigan State University. She holds a DMA in Piano Performance from Michigan State University.<br />

In China, Chen was invited to be a spokesperson &amp; guest pianist in the ninth World’s Children Call for Peace event in Beijing, together with over 100 institutions &amp; children from more than 60 countries. In the US, Chen has given performances for the City of Boston, Omaha Summit at the 53 rd Warren Buffett Berkshire Hathaway Meeting &amp; Massachusetts General Hospital. She received the Global Youth Leadership Award at the United Nations Headquarters Global Social Responsibility Summit in New York in 2018. This year, she gave solo piano performance at World First Metaverse Lantern Festival &amp; North America Virtual Lunar New Year Gala. While working towards a double performance major in piano &amp; percussion in the U.S. on a full scholarship, Chen discovered the interconnection between the two &amp; developed her own performance style. Incorporating East Asian philosophy &amp; western classical music, from Chinese poetry in the Tang Dynasty to Italian Renaissance literature, she explores the connections among nations, people &amp; nature.</p>

HOW TO MAKE UP FOR EDUCATIONAL &#038; SOCIAL LOSSES<br />
STUDENTS ENCOUNTERED DURING COVID-19</p>
<p>Lessons from Boys &#038; Girls Clubs of America<br />
Help Keep Kids and Teens Engaged in Learning as Social Distancing Continues</p>
<p>Learning loss is a real issue every summer, but in the unprecedented era of COVID-19, many students already began the summer at an educational disadvantage. As schools closed their doors weeks ahead of time, students completed the school year at home, relying on virtual classrooms and take-home work. </p>
<p>The digital divide made it a lot harder for some children to complete school work, especially those from low-income and minority households, who may not have reliable internet access. In homes where parents did not have the choice of tele-work, older children may have needed to care for their younger siblings so parents could work, making it even harder to do school work under already challenging circumstances. </p>
<p>Now there’s concern over how to keep kids engaged in learning this summer. Research finds children typically fall behind academically each summer, losing about two months’ worth of math skills during the summer. Low-income youth lose more than two months’ worth of reading skills, while their middle-class peers make slight gains.[1] Unchecked, summer learning losses can cause disadvantaged kids to fall behind and possibly jeopardize their chances of graduating from high school.</p>
<p>Public schools and some afterschool programs like Boys &#038; Girls Clubs may remain closed this summer to prevent the spread of the virus, and that means students have lost an important lifeline – a place to connect with friends and teachers, work on their social and emotional skills (which help kids achieve success in areas like academics, arts, leadership and service) and access a typical learning experience.  In this segment, parents can take some valuable cues and gain advice to help their kids from a youth development expert from Boys &#038; Girls Clubs of America. </p>
<p>July 6 -11 has been designated as national Summer Learning Week, the perfect time to hear from Chrissy Chen, the Senior Director of Youth Development Programs at Boys &#038; Girls Clubs of America. She’ll discuss how parents can learn some important tips to keep kids and teens learning during summer, especially due to the changes that happened during this recent school year due to COVID-19. She’ll also explain what the important tools are to make sure young people don’t experience summer learning loss while also building their social and emotional skills so they can prepare for the new school year &#8212; and life beyond the pandemic.</p>

<p>January 17, 2019 – New York, NY – Premier Event Management Inc. and Harvard Wealth Strategy &amp; Management, LLC announce New York City Mayor David N. Dinkins’ participation in the Fifth Annual Chinese New Year Spectacular concert at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall to ring in the Year of the Pig on Friday, February 15, 2019 at 7:30 p.m., offering a special program that celebrates both Chinese and American cultures. A highly anticipated annual performance, Spectacular has become a NYC tradition to mark the beginning of the New Lunar Year.</p>
<p>“The celebration is a reminder that our city is a gorgeous mosaic of many cultures. The evening is a great opportunity to celebrate the diversity that helps to make New York City so vibrant,” said NYC Mayor David N. Dinkins.</p>
<p>Mayor Dinkins will read excerpts from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address with piano accompaniment by Jie Chen. New to the 2019 program, Chinese Pianist Jie Chen and Shanghai Soprano Quan Chen will perform, as well as returning artists, American violinist Deni Bonet and tenor Dr. William Weimin Cai. Joining Dr. Cai during his performance this year will be Dominican tenor Francisco Casanova, Chinese tenor Honghai Tang and a special choir of nearly 100 voices.</p>
<p>The evening’s program will feature a wide variety of musical compositions, ranging from: Fantasy Impromptu by Frederic Chopin and Zueignung by Richard Georg Strauss, along with Butterfly Lovers by He Zhanhao and I Love You China! by Zheng Qiufeng.</p>
<p>The annual Spectacular is produced by Premier Event Management Inc. and Harvard Wealth Strategy &amp; Management, LLC, two American organizations which share the common goal of bridging the culture gap between Chinese and American cultures. The two groups have collaborated on a series of successful projects that bring Chinese culture to the U.S. including Tong Ren Tang, the world’s oldest brand of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which opened its first U.S. location in New York City.
