Ellis Medicine's Family Room expands services for mental health

Thursday, January 1, 2026

New in 2026


We have expanded our services at The Family Room, our walk-in mental health location for youth and teens (and their families). The Family Room now welcomes youth ages 5–17 (and children as young as 4½).

If your child is younger than this, please speak with your pediatrician or primary care provider about care options. If you’re experiencing an emergency, dial 9-11.

The Family Room is located at 1023 State St., Schenectady, NY. Learn more here

    The Emergency Department is not always the ideal site for every health care need. We will always be there for you, but please, reserve the ED for the most critical injuries and illnesses. For routine care, avoid the wait and try one of our walk-in sites. Know your options.  [more]
