Albany Med Health System is the largest not-for-profit health system serving northeastern New York and western New England. The system comprises Albany Medical Center, Albany Medical College, Columbia Memorial Health, Glens Falls Hospital, Saratoga Hospital, and a Visiting Nurses agency, operating with collaborative governance across member organizations.
Albany Medical Center, the cornerstone of the system, operates more than 766 beds and serves as northeastern New York's only academic medical center. The broader system draws on hundreds of providers across its member organisations. Albany Medical College, founded in 1839, anchors the system's educational and research mission.
The health system operates on a community-based care model that integrates local physicians with access to advanced medical expertise, research capabilities, and educational resources. This structure allows the system to serve regional populations whilst maintaining connections to academic medicine and specialized services.
