The clinic is well-equipped with on-site laboratory and imaging services (including ultrasound), enhancing diagnostic capabilities and convenience for patients. Additionally, CentraCare - Albany Clinic provides robust Physical therapy services, with dedicated private therapy rooms and a spacious gym, to aid in rehabilitation and recovery. For specialized care, the clinic hosts visiting specialists in areas such as Obstetrics and Gynecology, Orthopedics, and Podiatry, minimizing the need for patients to travel for these consultations. Some family medicine physicians at the Albany Clinic also collaborate with obstetricians from St. Cloud to offer prenatal and obstetrical care, allowing expectant mothers to receive most of their prenatal care locally before delivering at St. Cloud Hospital. Diabetes education and Coumadin clinic (INR) services are also available. The clinic is committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care close to home, reflecting CentraCare's broader mission to listen, serve, guide, and heal. CentraCare, established in 1995, has a long history in Minnesota, with its roots tracing back to the St. Cloud Hospital built in 1886. Today, CentraCare encompasses nine hospitals and over 30 clinics, making it one of the largest health systems in the state, recognized for its commitment to rural health and patient-centered care.
