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

Dr. Kristina Lahtinen-Aley is certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and has fifteen years of experience serving the families of the Capital District. Originally from Plattsburgh, New York, Dr. Lahtinen-Aley earned her bachelor’s degree from Colby College in Waterville, Maine. She attended medical school at Albany Medical College in Albany, New York, where she earned her medical degree before completing her internship and residency at Albany Medical Center. She was awarded the Martha L. Lepow Pediatric Service Award in 2013.

Fueled by the desire to help others, Dr. Lahtinen-Aley wanted to be a doctor from a very young age. With an older sister who suffered from Cystic Fibrosis, she was able to witness firsthand the care, professionalism, and drive displayed by the many physicians who treated her sister. Those experiences in her youth continue to drive her today as she cares for her patients with compassion and respect.

Together with her husband and three children, Dr. Lahtinen-Aley enjoys traveling as well as taking advantage of the many outdoor activities the Capital District offers including skiing, golf, and swimming. When not participating herself, you will likely find her proudly cheering on her kids on the sidelines.
