Not medical advice
Information on this page is published for general informational purposes only and is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Decisions about emergency care should be made with a qualified clinician, with 911 dispatch, or with the hospital directly , never on the basis of this page alone.
Estimates only , not a guarantee
Wait times are estimates published by each hospital or health system and may be 30 minutes or more out of date. Different facilities measure different things (current snapshot, rolling average, time-to-departure, etc.); the metric shown above is the publisher's own definition. Actual waits depend on triage acuity, staffing, ambulance arrivals, and minute-to-minute conditions, and may differ materially from what is displayed.
Assumption of risk — no reliance
This page is published for general information and orientation only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, triage or emergency care, and using it does not create any doctor–patient, clinician–patient, advisory or professional relationship between you and us. Any decision about whether, where or when to seek care is yours alone, made on your own independent judgement and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, at your own risk.
Missing, blank, zero or unavailable data means nothing. The absence of a facility, or of any wait-time figure, must never be read to mean a facility is closed, full, slow, busy, open, fast or suitable — or anything at all about it. Check how current the information is: where a "last updated" time is shown you must not rely on a figure without checking its age, and where no time is shown you must assume the figure may be out of date. If in doubt, contact the facility directly or call 911 or your local emergency number.
No affiliation, no endorsement
ERClock is an independent aggregator. We have no affiliation with, endorsement by, or sponsorship from Albany Medical Center, the named hospital, CMS, or any data provider. All hospital and health-system names, logos, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners and appear here solely for the purpose of identification.
Provided "as is" , no warranty
This page is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including without limitation warranties of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the information shown is error-free, current, or suitable for any decision you may make.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, ERClock and its operators, contributors, licensors and data providers will not be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, misrepresentation or otherwise, for any loss or damage arising out of or in connection with your use of, reliance on, or inability to use this page or any information on it — including any wait time or its absence, inaccuracy, staleness or unavailability; any decision, action or inaction relating to medical, emergency, urgent or other care; loss caused by the acts, omissions or content of any third-party source, feed, facility, linked site or community submission; or any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive loss — in each case whether or not foreseeable.
This service is provided free of charge and for information only; these disclaimers reflect a fair and reasonable allocation of risk, and we would not provide the service on a free basis without them. Subject always to the carve-out below, our total aggregate liability for all such loss shall not exceed one thousand pounds sterling (£1,000), as set out in our Terms & Conditions.
Nothing on this page or in our Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited — including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any non-excludable rights you may have under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or other mandatory law. The limitations above apply only to the extent the law allows and do not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
Insurance & billing
Out-of-network emergency-room visits in the US can result in five-figure bills. ERClock does not show insurance network status. Verify network status with your insurer before non-emergency care. For genuine emergencies, federal EMTALA law requires participating hospital ERs to evaluate and stabilise you regardless of insurance; don't let billing concerns stop you calling 911.
