Our hospital hosts advanced diagnostics including in-house hematology equipment, digital full body and dental radiology, as well as reinvesting in a new ultrasound machine in the past year. We utilize Cornerstone software and are transitioning to Electronic Medical Records. Our team is dedicated and tenured and keeps the day drama free. We enjoy holiday potlucks together, as well as team events such as staff picnics and group zoo visits.

Benefit from a 4-day-a-week schedule with no on-call or after-hours requirements, allowing you to explore the great opportunities Alaska has to offer on your time off. Nestled between the ocean and the snow-covered Chugach Mountains, Anchorage is Alaska’s largest city, known for its fine dining, local craft breweries, theatres, golf courses, botanical gardens, and festivals. With a small-town feel, Anchorage is home to 120 miles of trail for running/biking/skiing and is a gateway to nearby mountains where you can explore glaciers, kayak, hike, fish, hunt, and enjoy many state parks.
