Patient Care

As a physical education teacher, Christine Borden led an active life. In 1995, however, everything changed. After an accident with a drunk driver, Borden was left nearly paralyzed and in constant pain.
Medical Education
Honored World Health Researcher and Alumnus Establishes an Endowment to Encourage International Student Research
As a student at Albany Medical College, David Nalin, MD '65 had an experience that changed his life. Participating in a college-sponsored program, Nalin traveled to Guyana. Here he found a calling that would launch a distinguished career in international medical research.
Research
Philanthropy Supports the Science of Discovery
"Eureka!" This famous word, uttered upon the onset of unexpected discovery, serves as a reminder of the often serendipitous nature of scientific research. Scientists frequently begin an investigation with a particular goal in mind, only to have the preliminary results point them in unexpected and exciting new directions. Philanthropic support provides a flexible funding mechanism, enabling investigators to allow the science of discovery to guide their research.
Unrestricted Giving
To succeed as a technologically advanced, high-quality academic medical center, Albany Med needs financial support that far exceeds insurance reimbursements and government subsidies. This is why unrestricted giving is so important. An unrestricted gift allows Albany Med to use your gift where it is needed most, guaranteeing the Medical Center's ability to achieve success and to continue to offer the very best in patient care, education, and research.
