Penn Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania has announced a transformative gift from Catherine and Anthony Clifton, totalling $120 million. This generous donation will rename the hospital’s pavilion in recognition of the donors, with the funds supporting the hospital’s clinical care, research, and education efforts.
The hospital’s pavilion, now renamed the Clifton Centre, plays a vital role in Penn Medicine’s clinical research ecosystem, serving over 350,000 patients annually. The centre’s rooftop helipad enables rapid transfers of more than 4,000 critically ill patients annually.
Catherine Clifton, a UPenn alumna with both bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the university, has served on the Penn Medicine board since 2010. Her husband, Anthony Clifton, is the principal owner and founder of AAC Holdings, a consulting and mentoring firm that supports small business owners and senior managers.
University of Pennsylvania Health System CEO Kevin B. Mahoney expressed his gratitude for the Cliftons’ generosity, stating, “Catherine and Anthony’s record-setting gift is a defining moment in Penn Medicine’s evolution. The Clifton Centre strengthens our ability to push the boundaries of medicine, improving patient care, advancing research, and training the next generation of physicians.
