AMC receives $10M gift
by Katie Pfaff
The Stephen & Christine Schwarzman Animal Medical Center in New York City was created to care for pets whose owners could not afford treatment and care. The facility is now one of the world’s largest non-profit animal hospitals.
A $10 million gift was awarded from the Denise and Michael Kellen Foundation and the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation to ensure the facility’s mission continues. Funds are also expected to be used to expand.
"The Kellen Family has had a deep and lasting impact on the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center," said Kathryn Coyne, president and chief executive officer at AMC. "We are immensely grateful for their continued generosity and their unwavering commitment to our mission. Their contribution helps ensure a bright future for generations of pet families to come."
AMC will name a new and expanded surgical suite after the Kellens. The new area will add 7,000 square feet on new or renovated space and include five new operating areas, a recovery room, and a minor procedure area. The new space is expected to be used in 2024.
"For 35 years, our family has been enthusiastic supporters of the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center and its enduring mission of pioneering medicine, charitable care, and postgraduate education," said Michael Kellen. "We are proud to partner with AMC to develop this advanced Surgical Institute, which will not only offer the finest in veterinary surgical care but will enhance training opportunities for veterinarians at AMC and around the world."
