Angell at Nashoba Medical Center loosens restrictions

The Angell at Nashoba Animal Medical Center in Westford announced it is loosening restrictions.
When the center opened in February 2016, its mission was to care for the pets of low-income residents of the towns that make up the district of Nashoba Valley Technical High School.
Nearly five years later, that mission is handcuffing the clinic.
“We’ve realized that it’s not sustainable, especially now with COVID-19 and a lot of people losing their jobs,” said Dr. Laurence Sawyer, medical director of Angell at Nashoba.
Angell at Nashoba is the result of a partnership between the MSPCA Angell Animal Medical Center and Nashoba Tech’s Veterinary Assisting program that sought to help families in the district who couldn’t afford veterinary care.
