About Albany Memorial Hospital
In 1868, we opened as the Albany City Free Dispensary, providing healthcare for patients who were unable to pay. Over the next 82 years, the hospital had a total of five downtown Albany locations - including two on North Pearl Street. In 1957, Albany Memorial Hospital moved to its current location on Northern Boulevard.

Albany Memorial Hospital was recently named as one of the 100 Top Hospitals Intensive Care Units (ICU) in an independent study released by the Solucient Leadership Institute, a leading source of healthcare intelligence and benchmark information. The study found that the 100 top hospitals have shorter lengths of stay and lower costs while achieving superior clinical outcomes. Hospitals were ranked on a number of performance measures for quality practices and efficiency of operations, including complications, mortality, length of stay and costs.
