“WellNow Urgent Care is proud to provide the Guilderland, McKnownville and the surrounding communities greater access to high quality, affordable urgent medical care,” said WellNow Urgent Care President John Radford, M.D. “Together with St. Peter’s Health Partners, we are honored to continue our commitment to the Capital Region by building a trusted and unified healthcare network.”

The Albany location provides timely treatment for non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses, such as sprains, strains, colds and the flu, while also providing on-site X-rays, lab testing, and physicals.
