Albany Med Readying Pediatric ER Center

A visit to the emergency room, either as a patient or a concerned relative of the injured or ill, is never a welcome experience even when the best of care is provided. It's especially difficult for children. That may become just a bit easier by the end of next year when Albany Medical Center will open a four-story, $50 million pediatric emergency department. James Barba is the president and CEO of Albany Med.
