4 5 OUR MISSION & OUR VALUES

The Animal Medical Center, a non-profit veterinary specialty hospital, has been a national leader in animal health care since its founding in 1910. Its mission is to promote the health and well-being of companion animals through compassionate care, advanced specialty treatments, groundbreaking medical research, and a sustained commitment to training future generations of veterinarians.

At The AMC, some 100 veterinarians representing 25 specialty fields aggregate their skills and experience to provide the highest quality of medical service possible to all patients, including animals whose owners or temporary caretakers have limited financial means. Called Charitable Community Funds, these subsidized programs mirror the quality of care and compassion offered to every AMC patient.

To ensure the continued advancement of its core mission and to offer continuity of care to all of its pet patients, The AMC is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
