Albany Stratton Veterans Affairs Medical Center
The Albany Stratton Veterans Affairs Medical Center opened in 1951 and was renamed in 1990 in honor of Samuel S. Stratton, a long-serving U.S. Congressman and staunch supporter of veterans. Located in the heart of New York's capital, it is a Joint Commission-accredited complexity level 1c facility. As an integrated medical center, it provides a comprehensive range of patient care services, including primary, tertiary, and long-term care, as well as being a hub for medical education and research. The facility serves veterans across a 100-mile radius, spanning 22 counties in upstate New York, western Massachusetts, and Vermont. This medical center is distinguished by its state-of-the-art technology and specialized programs. It is recognized as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the American College of Surgeons and has held continuous accreditation with the Commission on Cancer since 1959. Key services include cardiac catheterization, radiation oncology, stereotactic radiosurgery, and a dedicated Women Veterans Health Program. The facility also operates as a teaching hospital with strong affiliations with Albany Medical College, ensuring veterans have access to highly trained medical residents and specialized experts. In addition to its acute care services, the Albany Stratton VA is a leader in mental health and social support. It provides intensive PTSD treatment, a memory clinic for geriatric assessments, and programs for substance abuse and homelessness. The campus includes unique amenities such as a Fisher House for families of hospitalized veterans and a 24-hour therapeutic residential facility. Its mission is deeply rooted in the Department of Veterans Affairs' core values of caring for those who have 'borne the battle' and their families.
