Through her work in the Coachella Valley, Dr. Aaronson has developed an immense appreciation for both her patients and their owners, and has witnessed firsthand how important pets are to the framework of the Desert community. In 2024, she was elected to the Board of Directors at the Palm Springs Animal Shelter, where she now serves as Chair of the Community Outreach Services Committee. In response to the region’s needs, she has further advanced her surgical expertise, focusing on high-quality, high-volume spay and neuter procedures to help address the animal population crisis. Her work focuses on expanding access to care, supporting underserved populations, and strengthening the human–animal bond throughout the Coachella Valley.

As her involvement in Greater Palm Springs has grown, Dr. Aaronson has recognized the increasing strain created by the veterinary workforce shortage. In response, she began working as a relief veterinarian, supporting the many dedicated and compassionate veterinary hospitals throughout the region and helping ensure continued access to care for their patients. Her work is rooted in collaboration, service, and a genuine commitment to the well-being of the community she calls home.
