EMR Upgrade throughout the weekend: CCP will be completing a scheduled upgrade to our electronic medical record (EMR) system to help enhance and support your care experience. Our practices remain accessible, on-call providers continue to be available, and Latham Urgent Care will remain open for urgent medical needs. Most of this work is happening behind the scenes. If you receive care this weekend, you likely won’t notice any difference, other than occasionally confirming information to ensure we have the most accurate details for your care. We appreciate your patience.

 

If you visit Urgent Care this weekend, it would be helpful to bring a current list of your medications. You should also expect paper prescriptions rather than electronic prescriptions during portions of the upgrade. Any other office-specific changes or instructions will be communicated directly by your practice, if needed. Please check your practice’s website for the latest updates.

Biography

Elizabeth Valk is a certified family nurse practitioner and a member of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. She treats patients of all ages but is particularly interested in newborn and pediatric care. Elizabeth received her Master of Science in nursing, family nurse practitioner from Russell Sage College in Troy, NY. She began her nursing studies at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT, earning her Bachelor of Science in nursing.

Elizabeth had an accident as a teenager and was helped by a local volunteer EMS. Inspired by their assistance, she decided to join as a junior volunteer shortly after that. Elizabeth loved her experience as a volunteer and ultimately stayed on the healthcare track by going to nursing school. She decided to pursue medicine because she wanted a career in which she felt satisfied by helping others daily. Elizabeth loves building relationships with patients of all ages and seeing them attain their goals. When caring for her patients, she believes in clear communication and education so they can better understand their health and disease management.

Elizabeth is originally from Westchester County. She moved to the Capital Region area after meeting her husband, who is in the military and was living in Albany at the time. Outside of medicine, Elizabeth enjoys spending time with her husband, daughter, and their two dogs.
