Winter Season
Snow, icy conditions, cold winds and less sunshine pose health challenges for children, teens, adults and seniors. Taking precautions is a must, against sports injuries, heart attacks, hypothermia, getting a cold or flu, while engaging in such activities as snow shovelling, snowboarding, skiing, skating, tobogganing or winter driving/travel.

We encourage you to talk to one of our family physicians about any winter sport/activity that may affect your health. The Albany Medical Clinic also offers these services:

• Our Walk-in Clinic is open 7 days a week, every day of the year
