Albany, NY Guide

As the Capital Region's main referral point, Albany, NY draws a regular flow of admissions to Albany Medical Center and the systems around it. Critical-care and med-surg floors cover patients from well beyond the city limits, across several campuses. Travelers reviewing assignments often see contracts extending into Troy, Schenectady, and Cohoes, where housing comes easier than downtown, and many favor a base near the Northway for a quick run into the city. Off shift, Washington Park and the New York State Museum are easy options for a day. The walkable downtown grid and regional rail connections make a car optional, which is a real plus for travelers who would rather not commute far.
