An essential New York institution.
A global leader in veterinary care.
A transformational effort.

THE Gift of Love CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

The Gift of Love campaign will transform the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center. It invests in its entire operation.

By adding more than 11,000 square feet of new construction and renovating more than 26,000 square feet of existing clinical and client space, the Gift of Love campaign will enhance the ability of our clinical team to provide the best possible care for the patients we treat, while opening up new opportunities for cutting-edge research and providing an optimal learning environment for our residents and interns.

This $100 million effort ensures that anyone who passes our hospital can see that the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center is a world-class institution, a place where the most advanced and compassionate veterinary practices and clinical research are conceived, refined, and perfected — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

AMC is the only Level 1 Veterinary Trauma Center in New York City and one of only a few trauma centers in the country that can provide comprehensive care for small animal patients. AMC’s new Emergency Room will nearly triple its current footprint, adding needed equipment, exam tables, and cages.

The Special Care Unit is where animals that are not in critical condition get the inpatient care they need. Relocated to the third floor, the new SCU will increase its footprint by nearly 40%, allowing AMC to accommodate more patients. Separate areas for feline and canine recovery will provide a more serene experience that promotes healing. The expansion will also include new amenity spaces for families and visitors.
