Dr. Heidi Hanson loves the challenge certain cases can bring and works quickly to find a solution to an animal’s ailment. Dr. Hanson opened the doors to the Veterinary Emergency Hospital back in 2000 and has been with us ever since. She established the blood donation program for dogs and cats at the Veterinary Emergency Hospital. Now, thanks to her, our hospital can provide sick patients with much needed blood products. 

She graduated with her undergraduate degree from South Dakota State University and then went onto Iowa State University to receive her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. Dr. Hanson is married to another veterinarian and together they have two boys and several fur babies. In her spare time, she likes to express her creative side doing art projects and gardening. She also enjoys being outdoors, watching sports, and reading.
