Albany Medical Center is not just a hospital - it's a living, breathing institution where medical education, research, diagnosis and treatment come together to make medical miracles happen every day. Albany Med is in a constant state of evolution to remain on the cutting edge of biomedical science, as well as adapt to the changing needs of our region, and as such, must continually, physically, and programmatically reinvent itself. This translates to the need for ongoing new construction and renovation, laboratory and imaging equipment upgrades and purchases, the training and information technology tools to put it all to work, and the endowment to ensure future success. Philanthropic funds play a critical role in this evolution.
Hospital - Patient Care
The technology of diagnosing and treating disease has advanced dramatically in recent years. We now have the ability to computerize and automate laboratories, resulting in faster and more accurate diagnosis of life-threatening diseases such as cancer and serious blood disorders. More efficient diagnosis leads to more effective treatment, higher survival rates and better quality of life for patients. As technology evolves, physical space must also evolve to accommodate new equipment and treatment protocols.
College - Medical Education & Research
As the Region's only academic medical center, Albany Medical Center and its patients benefit greatly from the institutional relationship with Albany Medical College. In addition to graduating high-quality new physicians every year who go on to treat patients all over the world, Albany Med plays a critical role in the continuing education of physicians and caregivers across the region. As a regional hub for biomedical research, Albany Med is uniquely poised to provide its patients with the latest bench-to-bedside treatments.
