CentraCare - Albany Clinic

CentraCare - Albany Clinic is a modern, 18,000 square foot healthcare facility located at 30 Railroad Ave, Albany, MN 56307. It operates as a vital part of CentraCare, a large not-for-profit integrated healthcare system serving Central and West Central Minnesota. The Albany clinic offers a wide array of services designed to meet the diverse health needs of the community, including comprehensive family medicine for patients of all ages, from newborns to seniors. This encompasses routine check-ups, chronic condition management, and minor illness and injury care. A key feature of the Albany Clinic is its Same Day Care service, which provides convenient appointments for common illnesses or minor injuries when primary care isn't immediately available, serving as an alternative to emergency room visits for less severe conditions. The clinic is well-equipped with on-site laboratory and imaging services (including ultrasound), enhancing diagnostic capabilities and convenience for patients. Additionally, CentraCare - Albany Clinic provides robust physical therapy services, with dedicated private therapy rooms and a spacious gym, to aid in rehabilitation and recovery. For specialized care, the clinic hosts visiting specialists in areas such as Obstetrics and Gynecology, Orthopedics, and Podiatry, minimizing the need for patients to travel for these consultations. Some family medicine physicians at the Albany Clinic also collaborate with obstetricians from St. Cloud to offer prenatal and obstetrical care, allowing expectant mothers to receive most of their prenatal care locally before delivering at St. Cloud Hospital. Diabetes education and Coumadin clinic (INR) services are also available. The clinic is committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care close to home, reflecting CentraCare's broader mission to listen, serve, guide, and heal. CentraCare, established in 1995, has a long history in Minnesota, with its roots tracing back to the St. Cloud Hospital built in 1886. Today, CentraCare encompasses nine hospitals and over 30 clinics, making it one of the largest health systems in the state, recognized for its commitment to rural health and patient-centered care.
