Fulton, NY – An urgent care center now operates where Fulton's A.L. Lee Memorial Hospital used to. The hospital closed last year.

WRVO's Michael Benjamin visited the facility, and spoke with patients and healthcare officials to find out whether the new center is... or isn't meeting the community's needs.
