MCLB Albany has a small branch medical
clinic. Services are limited. Appointments can be made by
calling 639-5976. The city of Albany has two large hospitals with a
wide variety of services. The base clinic will refer patients to
physicians in town. See other categories in this section for more
information on available medical services.
Dental services on base are
for the active duty member only. Family members should establish a
relationship with a dentist in town shortly after arriving. Many area
dentists do not see patients on an emergency basis unless they have already been
established. If you have been overseas and stopped your TRICARE
Active Duty Family Member Dental Insurance, you will need to elect coverage
again once you return stateside. See other sections in this category
for more information on available dental services.
