Patient Relations

A Resource for You

Your comfort and wellbeing is of the utmost importance to the Albany Med Health System. Each of us play a role in bringing you the best possible care, delivered in an atmosphere of dignity, courtesy, compassion and privacy. For questions or concerns that cannot be resolved by talking to one of our health care professionals, our patient relations teams are here for you.
