Emergency Hope Veterinary medicine professor launches animal rescue team
Dr. Chance Armstrong’s life was forever changed in the aftermath of a fluke storm in Louisiana.
Today, he is an associate clinical professor in Auburn’s College of Veterinary Medicine, but in 2016, he was a resident and faculty member with Louisiana State University’s School of Veterinary Medicine in Baton Rouge. During that time, an unnamed storm system caused 13 deaths and $10 billion in losses, dumping three times as much rain on Louisiana as the historic 2005 Hurricane Katrina.
It was devastating for the communities affected, and for Armstrong, it was a sentinel moment.
