Learn about Veterinary Cardiac Emergency Critical Care while enjoying the Crown Jewel of the North Atlantic Coast and natural beauty of the highest rocky headlands along the Atlantic coastline of the United States, an abundance of habitats, and a rich cultural heritage. Acadia National Park protects the natural beauty of the highest rocky headlands along the Atlantic coastline of the United States, an abundance of habitats, and a rich cultural heritage. At 4 million visits a year, it’s one of the top 10 most-visited national parks in the United States. Visitors enjoy 27 miles of historic motor roads, 158 miles of hiking trails, and 45 miles of carriage roads.
As the eastern and northernmost state in the contiguous United States, you might already be aware that Maine is the first state the sun’s rays touch every day. What you might not know is that – because the sun is in a different location across the sky throughout the year – the precise points that see America’s first light actually rotates throughout the year. From March to mid-September, it’s 1,748-foot Mars Hill near the Canadian border; from Mid-September to October, it’s Quoddy Head State Park in Lubec; and from Mid-October to early March, it’s 1,532-foot Cadillac Mountain Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor. That means that Acadia’s tallest peak actually holds the title of “First to See Sunrise” for most of the year.

Emergency Critical Care
Chris McLaughlin, DVM, DACVIM (Cardiology), DACVECC
Dr. Chris McLaughlin is originally from Woostock, New Brunswick, Canada. He attended the Atlantic Veterinary College, followed by an Internship at the Ontario Veterinary College. He completed a residency in Emergency and Critical Care from North Carolina State University in 2016, before moving to South Florida to practice in two, large referral hospitals. During his time as a Director of Emergency and Critical Care, he developed a passion for minimally invasive interventional procedures. This led me to undertake a second residency in Cardiology at North Carolina State University, which he completed in July 2023.
There are many things he loves about practicing Cardiology. He has a passion for interventional procedures and has extensive experience in the management of several congenital and acquired heart defects, including ACDO occlusion of Patent Ductus Arteriosus, Balloon Valvuloplasty and Pulmonary Valve Stenting for Pulmonary Valve Stenosis, Pacemaker implantation, diagnostic right and left heart catheterization, balloon membranostomy of Cor Triatriatum Dexter, and heartworm retrieval in Caval Syndrome, among others. It is incredibly rewarding to intervene in puppies and kittens with heart disease and give them a long and healthy life. With his background in Emergency and Intensive Care Unit Medicine, he also enjoy inpatient management of critically ill and complex cardiopulmonary cases, including heart failure and arrhythmias. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the relationships that are built with clients, their pets, and their family veterinarians while managing chronic heart disease are both rewarding and fulfilling for him. He prefers to be a partner in a patient’s care, involving the clients and their family veterinarians in all management decisions and follow up.
