Ryan Veterinary Hospital

Matthew Ryan

Last Friday, the University held a dedication and renaming ceremony for the Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, to honor the speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives who advocated for the school for more than 40 years.

He knew of the University Trustees' approval of the name change prior to his death on March 29, 2003. Dean Alan Kelly, President Judith Rodin, and Governor Ed Rendell were among those who praised Mr. Ryan for his statesmanship, his integrity and humility and his passion for the School of Veterinary Medicine, and its two teaching hospitals. The Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital is one of the largest and most advanced companion animal teaching hospitals in the world, with more than 27,000 patient visits a year, including 11,000 emergency cases.
