Visits and Flowers:

Joann's doctors may restrict flowers and fresh fruit because of the danger of infection. Send a card and a prayer, instead.

Joann is not restricted as to visitors, but please check with Jim ahead of time. He asks that you keep visits brief so as not to tire her, and please don't visit if you have a cold or infection, because her white blood cell count is lower from the chemotherapy. She would also enjoy a card or note whenever you find the time.

We have a list of interesting things to do and good places to eat around Albany, so that you'll enjoy your trip even more. Click here for a map and directions to the hospital from Exit 23 of the Thruway.

The nurses have requested that all visitors, including AMC staff and Jim, check with the nursing station before entering Joann's room. They are being very protective of her for medical, emotional, and meditative reasons.
