Sometimes a website just isn't enough and for those times, we have a great team of educators and medical staff available to help. And at our Teen Clinics (our summer hours in the Albany Health Center are Thursday from 1 to 4 pm and at the Troy Health Center on Wednesday from 1 to 4 pm). But you don't have to be a patient to stop by and ask a question or pick up a grab-bag of condoms and info pamphlets. And anytime you need specific medical advice, our medical staff is here to consider your concerns and help you address them. Call (518) 434-5678 to reach our Albany, Hudson or Troy Health Centers.
