History - State College Animal Hospital

Centre Animal Hospital was founded in 1988 under the ownership of Dr. Mark Michelotti, who developed the practice from a single-doctor clinic into the thriving hospital it is today. In 2017, Dr. Debra Smart and Dr. Renee Calvert purchased the practice from Dr. Michelotti, who retired in June 2020.

The practice currently includes more than two dozen team members. Additionally, we began partnering with Dr. Kurt Michelotti of Mobile Veterinary Specialists in August 2020 to offer orthopedic and advanced soft tissue surgeries by referral.

In January of 2023, we began a significant renovation of the existing building after 35 years. The existing space nearly doubled as we added additional exam rooms, increased the size of our reception space, moved our office manager's office upstairs, created larger self-contained, areas for our lab and pharmacy, added a second surgical suite as well as a separate one for dentistry, enlarged our doctors' offices, treatment area and much, much more.
