Overview

Providing internationally renowned care for large animals of all sizes! Penn Vet's New Bolton Center Hospital provides an internationally renowned standard of care for large animals of all sizes, ranging from pet goats to elite equine athletes and high-producing dairy herds. Handling more than 6,300 hospital patient visits annually — with its large animal Field Service ambulatory practice treating more than 22,400 patients at local farms in southeastern Pennsylvania and surrounding regions — Penn Vet's New Bolton Center carries one of the largest caseloads of any large animal veterinary teaching hospital in the United States

Trusted Care for More Than 60 Years. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year, Penn Vet's New Bolton Center offers a comprehensive suite of advanced large animal veterinary services — backed by more than seventy highly trained, board-certified veterinary specialists. 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

Mission — A Renowned Standard of Care — Penn Vet's New Bolton Center Hospital provides an internationally renowned standard of care. Located on a campus of some 700 acres in Chester County, Pennsylvania, New Bolton Center has one of the largest caseloads of any academic large animal hospital in the nation
