20 2015 BEST OF WEST HAWAII Thank you from Keauhou Veterinary Hospital’s award winning team. Dr. Jacob Head at Left to right: Quincy, Leilani, Bridget, Dr. Jacob Head, Jolene Keauhou Veterinary Hospital could hardly believe it when we told him he had won this year’s Best Veterinarian in West Hawaii for the 7th straight year. It has already been quite a year for Dr. Head, being nominated and accepting a Board of Director position for the Hawaii Veterinary Medical Association. Winning a coveted lottery slot in this year’s Ironman World Championships and then being voted by West Hawaii’s residents as Best Veterinarian just goes to prove good things really do come in three’s. Dr. Head and his amazing team feel truly blessed and honored to be able to offer care to our local community and to pets all over the Big Island. Dr. Head never would have guessed when he and his wife purchased the long time practice in 2007 that they would be so fortunate to get to do many amazing things in such a short amount of time. First, Dr. Head set out to become an AAHA accredit practice, becoming the Head, Kelsey, Cassie, Kiana. Dogs: Rome and Pike. first one on the Big Island. Then, he set out to do more, bringing such offerings as Stem Cell therapy and advance orthopedics. Dr. Head started to work right away in the community offering youth mentorship programs at the hospital for middle and high school students, going into classrooms islandwide speaking about the animals and the Aina, and educating children from kindergarten to 12th grade about animal welfare. He became involved in the sports community offering youth awards to young athletes and becoming President of the Konawaena Foundation (he is a 1989 alumni). Dr. Head credits being born and raised here with his desire to give back to the community. Growing up in a coffee shack on the slopes of Hualalai and then on a working coffee farm south of Kona instilled in him his work ethic and desire to do more and help wherever he can. Keauhou Veterinary Hospital under the direction of Dr. Head has become a staple name in many local sporting events and community programs. Over the years sponsoring time and money to various organizations such as the Bill Healy Foundation through the annual Kona Brewers Festival, The Hawaii Island Humane Society, Hospice of Kona, Special Olympics, PATH, Kona Marathon, GEMS, Donkey Mill Arts Center, Waveriders Triathlon Club, Kealakehe’s Cross country team, and many many more. Dr. Head said “I never want to lose sight of where I came from, that is here in Kona”. Readers in West Hawaii agree this home town vet is Best Veterinarian in West Hawaii.
