Pastoral Care - Information for Clergy

We appreciate and support the involvement of patient's local clergy in their hospital stay at Albany Medical Center.  We know that the support of a faith community can be of great comfort and help to individuals.  To assist you in connecting with members of your faith community, clergy are offered the following:

• Ability to find out (within HIPAA guidelines) if members of your church or temple/ faith community are patients at Albany Medical Center.  Please contact our office for registration details.
• Support in meeting member's needs (Eucharist, prayer, etc.)  and follow-up visits if needed.
• Validation for parking while visiting members at Albany Medical Center (clergy only, please contact our office for details).

If you have any questions about these or other services, please contact our office at (518) 262-3176 during regular business hours (Monday - Friday, 8:30am - 4:30pm).
