The purpose of Albany County Public Health is to prevent disease, enable healthful living, and promote healthy development throughout the lifespan. We are concerned with the impact of disease outbreaks; therefore, we strive to provide solid education, sound advice, and further the prevention of vaccine preventable disease. We work directly with families: providing nurse support to planning, pregnant, and post-partum families. We understand the unique requirements that accompany children with special health needs and provide children’s special health services. Other daily clinics support our mission to protect, promote, and enhance the health and well-being of the citizens of Albany County.
