Description

Dr. Richard J. White practiced small animal surgery and medicine from his home in Fruit Heights while doing large animal practice from farm to farm. Mrs. Joyce White took all the phone calls, and communicated with the veterinarian by means of a two-way radio. Dr. White made farm calls as far away as Wendover, Utah to Lone Tree Wyoming. In 1979 Dr. White decided to build a first class small animal hospital and hired Mr. Bill Copich, an architect from Youngstown Ohio, who specialized in designing veterinary hospitals. Gary Heath was selected as the general contractor and together they started construction of the RJ White Veterinary Hospital on Shepherd Lane in Farmington Utah. Farm calls quickly ended, but Dr. White continued to do some equine work out of the new hospital. In 1982 the practice had evolved to 90% small animal medicine and surgery. The excellent location of the hospital on the corner of Highway 89 and Shepherd Lane led to an increase of business volume at a rate of 20% each year. While Dr White had stopped doing farm calls he continued to attend to the zoo animals at Lagoon Resort. After five years he converted the large animal portion of the hospital to storage, isolation cages and a crematory unit. In 1994 Dr. Clayne White graduated with his DVM and joined his father in the small animal practice. In 1996 new boarding kennels were added to the hospital and Dr White's other son, Brad, took over the management of that facility.
