Myhre Equine Clinic

What Myhre Equine Clinic does

Myhre Equine Clinic is a privately held specialty equine veterinary referral hospital located in Rochester, New Hampshire, founded in 1969 by Dr. James Burns and operating under its current name since 2005. The practice is anchored by a three-veterinarian team — Hospital Director Dr. Grant Myhre (over 50 years of referral experience, the most in New England), Dr. Ron Vin (Diplomate ACVIM in large animal internal medicine), and Dr. Michael Myhre (Diplomate ACVS in large animal surgery) — supported by a practice manager, technicians, and barn staff bringing total headcount to approximately 12-15. The clinic operates as the only facility in the northeastern United States with an MRI (Esaote Grande XL) capable of routinely performing stifle MRI on standing horses, and is the only nuclear medicine laboratory in Northern New England, supporting both diagnostic scintigraphy and therapeutic modalities including I-131 for feline hyperthyroidism, Synovetin OA for osteoarthritis, and IsoPet yttrium-90 for cancer treatment.

The business model is professional-services revenue, primarily fee-for-service on clinical and surgical cases paid in full at time of service (with CareCredit financing available), plus registration fees from an annual 48-year-running continuing education conference for veterinarians and technicians that also functions as a referral-pipeline buildout event. Distribution is omnichannel for the regional New England market: referring veterinarians refer complex surgical, internal medicine, and imaging cases; horse owners access 24/7 emergency services directly; Dr. Ron Vin provides ambulatory on-farm sports medicine; and companion animal referrals are accepted through the on-site New England Regional Veterinary Imaging Center. Revenue streams include core surgical services, advanced diagnostic imaging, nuclear medicine treatments, reproduction services, podiatry, rehabilitation with Game Ready cold compression, and continuing education events. Primary customers are individual horse owners, referring primary care veterinarians, farriers, competition horse trainers, and companion animal owners seeking specialty imaging and I-131 therapy.
