Last Update: 3/02/21

Great opportunity to be a hospital employed family practice physician in this Southeast Alaska gem. The hospital is a 23 bed critical access hospital. Work Monday to Friday. There is an option for some administrative duties, marketing and public relations if interested. Hospital call is very light and is 1 in 3 days but the census only averages 1 patient per day in the hospital. The hospital also has a 10 bed long term care for geriatric residents. Prenatal care but all expectant mothers leave the community 30 days before the due date. They are offering a competitive starting salary with state funded retirement and unmatched benefits package that builds up t 8 vacation weeks per year. It also is a medically underserved area and qualifies for student loan reimbursement. The community has 2,500 year round residents and it doubles in the summer. The local community is very highly educated and professional and has a strong fishing industry. The local school system is in the top in the state and 90% go on to college. Anchorage is 1 hour by air and 3 hours by high speed ferry. The average temperature is in the 20’s in the winter and 70’s in the summer. The community sits on the Prince William Sound and is surrounded by glacier-carved mountains, wildlife-rich wetlands, lush forests, and countless waterways. Enjoy activities such as skiing, hiking, wildlife photography, boating, sport fishing, flight seeing, and more. Safe no crime and family friendly community that truly welcomes new comers.
