Albany Medical Center has announced a fifth location for its expanding EmUrgentCare division.

Albany Med EmUrgentCare, an urgent care facility staffed by emergency medicine-trained providers, has announced the soon-to-be location for a fifth facility, this time expanding into Rensselaer County.

The more than 4,500 square-foot facility will be located on Hoosick Street in Brunswick, and will be the second EmUrgentCare facility Albany Medical Center will open this year. The site will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., every day, including holidays. Current construction timelines have the site slated to be completed for an early December opening.
