Our Owner grew up in Albury and whilst Albury was always been on her radar for a new medical practice, after hearing that the after-hours clinic had shut down indefinitely in April 2020, she thought ‘now is my time’, I can help here. Being amidst a pandemic is one thing, but not being able to get the healthcare that you need, when you need it, at a comprehensive and high quality is something that no one should be isolated from.
