NEPA Alliance presented small business loan funds to the Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center (VREC) in the amount of $75,000 from the Economic Development Administration / NEPA Revolving Loan Fund and $50,000 from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) Loan Fund for the purchase and installation of an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) unit in conjunction with the start of their neurology service.  These are two (2) of the eleven (11) economic development loan programs administered by NEPA Alliance. Other financing in the project included Fidelity Deposit & Discount Bank.

The Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center, founded by Dr. Nichole Danova, offers distinctive and comprehensive veterinary services. Since opening its doors in May 2010, VREC has expanded to 57 veterinary trained staff members in order to best meet the needs of their patients, clients and referring veterinarians. VREC is a 24-hour, multi-specialty referral and emergency center in South Abington Twp.
