The patient's needs have always come first at the Albany Medical Clinic.

Welcome to one of Canada's oldest full-service healthcare clinics. The Albany Medical Clinic has been providing community-based healthcare to the people of Toronto since 1946. We provide a wide range of quality healthcare services, all in the same location. Our family physicians provide comprehensive primary care, while our Walk-in Clinic ensures all urgent problems are dealt with in a timely manner. That's why we open early and stay open late - 365 days of the year. Patients are our customers - our reason for being here. New patients are always welcomed.

January is Alzheimer Awareness Month
The diagnosis survey commissioned by the Alzheimer Society last October 2011, found that: "Family doctors play an integral role in early diagnosis and brain health. 83 per cent of respondents visited their family doctor first; half (49 per cent) of these were diagnosed by the family doctor; half (51 per cent) were diagnosed within six months." Access the result of this survey

It's important to see your family doctor for a complete examination if you experience any of the symptoms, as help is available if the diagnosis is Alzheimer. View a list of family doctors at the Albany Medical Clinic.

The Alzheimer Society of Canada's website has many resources, such as a list of the 10 most common warning signs, their video: Understanding Alzheimer Disease or you can take an interactive tour of the inside of the brain.
