In 1975 Steuart Ligon, DVM, established Lovingston Veterinary Hospital (LVH) which became the hub of both large and small animal medicine for the corridors between Charlottesville to Madison Heights, and Scottsville to Afton. He continued to run this successful practice until his death in 2008. His daughter, Jessica Ligon DVM, launched her veterinary career in Lovingston shortly after graduating vet school in 2012. She has steadily grown her father’s legacy into two practices serving the expanding population of rural central Virginia.

“I have always loved animals and pets so working with them all day and learning how their bodies work fascinates me. Everyday, I feel like I am making a difference in the lives of not only my pet patients, but also their human families as well.”
