**Schwarzman Animal Medical Center Officially Opens New “Paw-Fect” Institute for Surgical Care – Thursday, January 25, 2024**
On Thursday, January 25, 2024, at 11:00 am, The Stephen & Christine Schwarzman Animal Medical Center (AMC) previewed the brand-new 7,000 square-foot Denise and Michael Kellen Institute for Surgical Care, as part of the hospital’s $100 million transformational center-wide expansion.
You’ll see Helen Irving, RN, MBA, President & Chief Executive Officer of Animal Medical Center (AMC); Department Head of Surgery Pamela Schwartz, DVM, DACVS, CCRP; Service Head of Surgical Service 2 Daniel Spector, DVM, DACVS-SA; Service Head of Surgical Oncology Jonathan Ferrari, VMD, DACVS (SA), ACVS Fellow; Director of Orthopedic and Joint Replacement Surgery Robert Hart, DVM, DACVS; AMC furry ambassadors; and two NYPD K9 four-legged officers who went through life-saving emergency surgeries at AMC. Jake, a 7.5-year-old German Shepherd trained in explosive detection, patrol, and tracking, had to undergo a lung lobectomy to remove a ruptured bullae found on his lung lobe. Shabba, a 6.5-year-old Belgian Malinois also trained in explosive detection, had gastropexy surgery to reduce the risk of fatal consequences.
As the world’s largest veterinary teaching hospital dedicated to the advancement of veterinary medicine, Schwarzman Animal Medical Center (AMC) has completed its new Denise and Michael Kellen Institute for Surgical Care, as part of the hospital’s $100 million transformational center-wide expansion. Tripling the capacity with more than 7,000 square feet of state-of-the-art space, the new Surgical Institute now features 5 brand-new operating rooms, a minor procedure room, a recovery room separating dogs and cats, and a new Central Sterile Center.
The official public opening is on January 29, when AMC starts welcoming patients (dogs, cats, and other small animals), 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
