Whitney Young Health would like to help you complete the Immigration or Refugee physical process as easily as possible.
Your physical and follow-up consist of three visits, generally over a three week period. These visits are necessary to complete your health assessment and physical, to read the tuberculosis test and to follow-up on laboratory tests and immunizations.
Services are currently only available at the Albany Health Center. Immigration Health, which requires a Civil Surgeon, is available only for children. Refugee Health is available for children and adults.
Whitney Young Health's patient-centered model addresses all of a patient's needs – medical, dental and behavioral.
To better serve clients with substance use and behavioral health issues, Whitney Young Health offers primary care services specifically for clients of our OTP & Outpatient Clinic programs.
Also, our primary care providers ensure that patients who have been identified to have substance or behavioral health issues are connected to treatment.
There are many benefits of early pregnancy care. We encourage women to come in for a pregnancy test as soon as they miss a period.

Appointments can also be scheduled for this service with our providers at our Albany, Troy and Watervliet Health Centers.

Whitney Young Health is one of the largest providers of travel immunizations in the Capital Region. If you are planning a trip abroad for vacation, work or school, we are here to help. You should schedule your travel immunizations at least 4-6 weeks before your trip, especially if you will need a series of injections. Be aware that it takes about two full weeks for full immunity (protection from disease) to develop.
Please fill out Whitney Young Health's Travel Immunization Packet here and bring the completed form with you on the day of your appointment.
Travel Immunizations are available at the Albany Health Center. Please call 518-465-4771 to make an appointment.
