What if you didn’t have to choose between practicing great medicine and having a great life?
At Green Prairie Animal Hospitals, we’ve built our practices around the belief that veterinarians do their best work when they’re supported, challenged, and genuinely enjoy the people they work with. With locations in Sherman, Lincoln, and San Jose, Illinois, we’re a growing practice that combines small-town relationships with progressive veterinary medicine.
We’re looking for a veterinarian who wants to build a career—not just fill a position.
Whether you’re a new graduate looking for mentorship or an experienced veterinarian seeking a fresh start, we’ll work with you to create a role that fits your interests and goals. Love surgery? Let’s build your caseload. Interested in mixed animal medicine? We have a thriving large animal practice and a state-of-the-art large animal facility. Prefer companion animals? That’s an option too.
Our doctors have access to advanced tools and services including CT imaging, rehabilitation, laser therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic care, orthopedic procedures, dentistry, and more. We encourage our veterinarians to pursue their passions and develop special interests rather than forcing them into a one-size-fits-all role.
Just as important as the medicine is our culture. We believe in teamwork over competition, collaboration over ego, and supporting one another through both the rewarding and challenging days. You’ll find experienced doctors who enjoy teaching, a skilled support team that helps you practice efficiently, and leadership that listens.
We also know that work-life balance isn’t just a buzzword. Emergency and on-call responsibilities can be tailored to fit your comfort level, because we understand that the best veterinarians are those who have time to enjoy life outside of work, too.
You might be a great fit if you:
– Want to practice high-quality, progressive medicine
– Value mentorship, collaboration, and continued learning
– Enjoy building relationships with clients and their animals
– Appreciate the impact of veterinary medicine in a close-knit community
– Want flexibility to shape your career around your interests
At Green Prairie, you’ll have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference every day while being part of a team that genuinely enjoys working together.
If that sounds like the kind of practice you’ve been searching for, we’d love to talk.
