The Veterinary Services (VS) Regional offices accomplish the
VS mission by overseeing 41 area 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 separates VS Regional
offices into Eastern (ER) and Western (WR) regions. The exception
is Minnesota which is in the Eastern region. Each regional office
is managed by a director and three associate directors, one of
whom is responsible for emergency management. The remaining two
associate directors manage the area offices. The regions use regional
epidemiologists and import/export veterinarians to help manage
animal health programs. An administrative officer, with support
staff, manages budget, federal and state cooperative agreements,
personnel, GIS and information technology for each region. The
ER includes 21 area offices with responsibility for 27 states,
Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. The WR includes 20 area
offices with responsibility for 23 states and the Pacific territories.
