The Animal Medical Center (AMC), the world’s largest non-profit animal hospital, announced a $25 million gift from Stephen and Christine Schwarzman – the largest ever to an animal hospital, that will support the 37,000 square foot expansion and renovation of the hospital. With the Schwarzman’s transformative gift, AMC’s ‘Gift of Love’ campaign has reached $85 million of its $100 million goal.
“Animal Medical Center is a world-class institution and a center of excellence in the veterinary field,” said Stephen and Christine Schwarzman. “We’re pleased to support this transformative project which will expand the exceptional care available to the New York community and allow AMC to continue innovating for the benefit of all in veterinary medicine.”
Other major support for the campaign includes $5 million gifts from Elaine Langone, Katharine Rayner, Emilia Saint-Amand Krimendahl, the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation, Chris and Bruce Crawford, as well as donations from hundreds across New York City and beyond.
The project is currently underway with expected completion in 2024. In recognition of the gift, the hospital will be renamed the Stephen and Christine Schwarzman Animal Medical Center.
