The Stephen & Christine Schwarzman Animal Medical Center in New York City has announced that it has met its $100 million Gift of Love capital campaign goal to fund a center-wide expansion and modernization project with a final $5 million gift from Chris and Bruce Crawford.

Over the last decade, the Shwarzman Animal Medical Center, purported to be the largest nonprofit animal hospital in the world, saw its caseload grow by more than 50 percent. When completed in 2024, the new facility will feature state-of-the-art surgical suites, an expanded and enhanced emergency room, more than double the space for both the intensive care and special care units, a new outdoor dog run and park for hospitalized patients, a client-friendly first-floor lobby, and an expanded and modernized hi-tech education and conference center.

“For over a century, the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center has been a trailblazer in the veterinary field,” said Schwarzman Animal Medical Center board chair Robert Liberman, “and with a new hospital AMC will continue to lead the way, delivering the highest level of compassionate and collaborative patient care, driving pioneering research, educating the next generation of industry leaders, and discovering new diagnostic, prevention, and treatment methodologies that impact both animal and human medicine.”
