The Team
Who We Are
EMILY VINCENT,
RN BSN PHN
Founder & CEO
Emily Vincent, RN, BSN, PHN, is the Founder and CEO of LivestockDoc™. She is a cardiac intensive care nurse at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center with more than 14 years of critical-care experience. Her work has included clinical leadership, nursing informatics, policy development, performance improvement, and education.
A two-time DAISY Award recipient, Emily brings a critical-care nurse’s discipline of observation, escalation, and precise documentation to livestock health.
Outside the ICU, Emily is the owner and operator of Two Rock Ranch in Berne, New York—home to more than 400 White Dorper sheep and one of the largest registered White Dorper flocks on the East Coast.
After nearly two decades of farming and facing livestock emergencies when veterinary care was not immediately available, she founded LivestockDoc™ to help farmers recognize concerns sooner, document care clearly, and strengthen their connection with veterinarians.
LivestockDoc™ was born at the intersection of Emily’s two worlds: critical care and the farm.
