A Year in Review2017 ANNUAL REPORT

A Letter from AMC Leadership

Dear Friends and Supporters,

The Animal Medical Center continued to thrive in 2017, as perhaps best exemplified by the growing volume of patients coming through our doors every day. In 2017, we had more than 52,000 patient visits, a nearly eight percent increase over the previous year. In order to continue to offer the highest quality veterinary care at our Elmer and Mamdouha Bobst Hospital, while, at the same time, managing this high demand for service, we hired several new staff doctors, welcomed an executive director of client relations onto our senior management team, and continued planning for a major renovation of the hospital, which will provide more clinical space and a more comfortable environment for our patients and clients.

In October, we were pleased to welcome surgical oncologist Dr. Katie Kennedy to the staff of The Cancer Institute. Dr. Kennedy, one of only a few veterinary surgical oncologists practicing today, is working with her colleagues to integrate surgery with other cancer treatment modalities, such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, to better accommodate our growing caseload and ensure that each oncology patient receives the best possible care.

In 2017, AMC also launched the Usdan Institute for Animal Health Education, an exciting new initiative designed to inform and empower pet owners and to educate the public. With our staff of over 100 doctors and the knowledge gained from more than 100 years of experience, we are uniquely positioned to deliver the best and most up-to-date information about pet health—not only to those who use our clinical services, but to pet owners throughout the country and the world. The Usdan Institute is providing an important platform to broaden our reach and strengthen our impact.

Thanks to you, our donors, we made great progress in fulfilling all aspects of our non-profit mission—education, research and the provision of charitable clinical care to those in financial need—throughout 2017.

1

With your support, 553 companion animals received over $1.5 million in subsidized care through our nine charitable community funds. We continued to provide advanced specialty training to the most highly qualified graduates of the leading veterinary schools through our internship and residency programs. Our doctors continued to conduct clinical investigations of naturally occurring diseases in pets, often in collaboration with physicians studying the same illnesses in humans, to enable more effective diagnoses, advance medical and surgical treatments, and prevent disease in animals and humans alike.

All of these accomplishments were made possible because of your philanthropic support. We are grateful that our donors understand the importance of our mission and through generous contributions allow us to make a difference, not only in the lives of the pets and people we serve, but in the broader world of veterinary medicine.

On behalf of the AMC Board and staff, we thank you.

With gratitude,

Robert Liberman Chairman

Kate Coyne Chief Executive Officer

Compassionate Programs & Charitable Funds

“ It’s only because of AMC to the Rescue that Princess was able to heal and find an incredible home.”Patricia Fessman, President and Founder of Timber’s Legacy

AMC’s charitable programs are central to our mission and our efforts to protect and strengthen the profound connection between people and their pets. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, in 2017, AMC provided over $1.5 million in subsidized care through our nine charitable community funds, including AMC to the Rescue, 401K-9 Fund, Patient Assistance Fund, and the Frank V.D. Lloyd Fund for Guide Dogs.

“ AMC is certainly busier than anywhere I’ll ever work again, so just managing a day here is an experience that no other resident in the country will get. This place is big and bustling, but I can always get a consult immediately from a senior staff doctor because he or she is just down the hall. This collaborative environment means that we can offer an amazing quality of medicine.”Dr. Beryl Swanson, AMC resident in Neurology

Education & Research

For over 50 years, AMC has offered veterinarians the opportunity to pursue additional training through the rigorous internship and residency programs of our Institute for Postgraduate Education. This invaluable educational experience provides an opportunity for veterinarians to reinforce, extend, and refine their clinical skills while enhancing their diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities. At the Elmer and Mamdouha Bobst Hospital at AMC, the large and varied caseload, combined with a high level of specialty support by experienced veterinarians and board certified veterinary specialists, creates an invigorating learning environment.

AMC’s internship and residency programs are extremely competitive and highly sought after, which means that AMC is able to select from a large pool of exceptional candidates. In 2017, AMC received 263 applications for 22 internship spots. AMC offers residencies in numerous specialties including Cardiology, Neurology, Oncology, Surgery, and Emergency and Critical Care. Each three-year residency is intended to lead to board certification. In 2017, AMC had 30 residents in various stages of their three-year clinical training programs, each supervised by a board certified specialist. Each AMC resident plans and executes a research project leading to a scientific manuscript for submission to a peer-reviewed professional publication.

Research is a fundamental component of AMC’s founding mission, and we are proud to advance veterinary medicine by pioneering new discoveries and progressive treatments. Through our Caspary Research Institute, AMC veterinarians work to understand the origins of diseases, to develop preventive measures, and ultimately to achieve cures. Our doctors conduct clinical investigations of naturally occurring diseases in pets, often in collaboration with physicians studying the same illness in humans, in pursuit of an evidence-based understanding of the disease process. Some studies undertaken in 2017 included investigating the most effective way to administer medications to dogs with first-time congestive heart failure, comparing treatments for canine periodontal disease, and investigating the use of stem cells to treat dogs with osteoarthritis.

AMC’s research scientists seek to discover new, safe and effective methods to diagnose and treat naturally occurring diseases.

In 2017, AMC launched our newest initiative, the Usdan Institute for Animal Health Education, which is designed to inform and empower pet owners and to educate the public on animal health related topics. To oversee the Institute, AMC appointed Jaclyn Skidmore, an infectious disease epidemiologist with extensive experience in the field of public health, as director. We are fortunate to have Jaclyn on staff, along with a veterinary team who have a wealth of knowledge that they are eager to share with a broad audience. Information is disseminated using a variety of platforms including AMC’s website, a monthly “Ask the Vet” radio talk show airing on the first Friday of each month at 1:00 p.m. ET on SiriusXM Stars 109, topical discussions at AMC, speaking engagements at partner institutions, open houses at AMC, and various social media posts. Usdan Institute discussions at AMC in 2017 included “Arthritis Treatment in Dogs,” with Dr. Leilani Alvarez, “Treating Seasonal Allergies” with Dr. Mark Macina, and “Pet Poisons” with Dr. Carly Fox.

“ The Usdan Institute translates AMC’s scientific and technical knowledge into a user-friendly format so that pet owners everywhere can benefit from our expertise.”Jaclyn Skidmore, Director

Global One Health Day & One Health Conference

AMC participated in Global One Health Day on November 2nd, joining other institutions worldwide to raise public awareness of the collaborative efforts of health professionals in different fields to ensure the well-being of people, animals and the environment. AMC’s Usdan Institute for Animal Health Education marked the day with a full schedule of lectures, how-to sessions, and tours, which were free and open to the public.

On November 4th, the Animal Medical Center conducted its third annual One Health Conference: Connecting Human and Veterinary Medicine, A Comparative Approach to Cardiology. The 70 participants, experts in both human and veterinary medicine, explored topics such as cardiac genomics, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, and tracheomalacia. The day-long conference was held in partnership with the Clinical and Translational Science Center at Weill Cornell Medicine. Philip Fox, DVM, MS, DACVIM/ECVIM (Cardiology), DACVECC, Head of Cardiology and Director of the Caspary Research Institute, delivered the keynote address.

“ At AMC, One Health has a very special meaning as many of our board certified veterinarians work closely with physicians from leading health institutions to help improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases shared by people and pets.”Dr. Philip Fox DVM, MS, DACViM/ECViM (Cardiology), DACVECC Head of Cardiology and Director, Caspary Research institute
