The AMC General Services Department
The Animal Medical Center in New York City is a nonprofit veterinary center that has been a national leader in animal care since 1910. As an academic veterinary hospital, The AMC promotes the health and well-being of companion animals through advanced treatment, research and education.
The AMC provides routine and emergency medical care for pets, and also offers treatment for animals suffering from complicated diseases. The staff, which includes more than 90 veterinarians, utilizes an interdisciplinary team approach and combines expertise in 17 different specialties. The facility is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Generating new knowledge is a vital part of The AMC mission, so diagnostics and treatment are always based on the latest research and technology. As a teaching hospital, The AMC uses the knowledge gained here to train future veterinary leaders through intensive postgraduate internship and residency programs.
A variety of free or subsidized services are available to those in need through the Frank V.D. Lloyd Fund for Guide Dogs, Seniors’ Animal Veterinary Effort, and Patient Assistance Fund. In addition, The AMC offers a Pet Outreach Program as well as counseling and bereavement services.
