The Veterinary Services (VS) Regional offices accomplish the
VS mission by overseeing 37Area Offices. The Area Offices have
responsibility for animal health programs in the United States
and its territories, including ports along the U.S. borders with
Canada and Mexico. The Mississippi River essentially separates
VS Regional offices into Eastern (ER) and Western (WR) Regions.
The exception are Louisiana and Minnesota which are in the Eastern
region. Each regional office is managed by a Director and two
Associate Directors. The Regions use regional epidemiologists
and import/export veterinarians to help manage animal health programs.
An Administrative Officer oversees Regional budget, federal and
state cooperative agreements, personnel, GIS and information technology
for each Region. The ER includes 20 Area Offices with responsibility
for 27 states, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. The WR includes
17 Area Offices with responsibility for 22 states and the Pacific
territories.
