The C. Mahlon Kline Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Center was erected in 1975 through the generosity of his family and the C. Mahlon Kline Foundation; Dr. Jacques Jenny, considered the father of large-animal orthopedic surgery, envisioned a system where horses could emerge from anesthesia without injury. The New Bolton Center Recovery Pool System was put into use 40 years ago and was a critical innovation in equine surgical procedures that require the horse to be placed under anesthesia. The James M. Moran, Jr. Critical Care Center opened in 2010, greatly increasing the hospital's capacity and ability to care for critically ill patients. The Scott Equine Sports Medicine facility was dedicated in 2002. New Bolton Center is one of the nation's first large animal hospitals to create a dedicated service for emergency and critical care
