The new EmUrgentCare and medical offices in Clifton Park opened on Oct. 1, just west of Shenendehowa High School at 989 Route 146 in Clifton Park.
Local officials joined leadership and physicians from Albany Med and The Bone & Joint Center, community partners and representatives from Columbia Development Companies for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The 14,400 square-foot medical office complex houses an Albany Med EmUrgentCare, a newly renovated and expanded satellite office for orthopaedic specialists with The Bone & Joint Center, and other medical tenants.

Saratoga Hospital has created a new Inpatient Transition Program to provide hospital-to-home services for adult patients with a chronic illness or health risks.
Officials said the patient-focused program is designed to improve both patient care and the system for transitioning that care from a hospital setting to a primary care provider.
“The ITP is especially needed for those chronically ill patients who may not have prompt access to their primary care physician,” said Dr. Kevin Dooley medical director of the Inpatient Transition Program. “These are patients who need to be seen within three days at most. A discharged patient who misses out on follow-up care may inadvertently mismanage their medications or miss a warning sign and eventually end up back in the hospital.”
