An Interview with: Ketchikan General Hospital

Q. Can you tell us more about your organization?

Isolated on an island 680 air miles from Seattle, Washington, Ketchikan General Hospital is more self-reliant than most small rural hospitals found in the "lower 48." Among the services available at Ketchikan General are home health, physical and occupational therapy, an accredited cancer care program, up-to-date technology and medical equipment, an emergency physician and staff on site 24 hours a day, a phase II cardiac rehabilitation program, and diabetes education.

Ketchikan can also boast an emergency medical services team that has a response time in the top 2% of the nation. With a network of services that extend to the lower 48 and other facilities in Alaska, you can rest assured that your health is of prime concern to this community.

The medical community is complemented by several EMT services and medi-flight service from the outer islands to Ketchikan. Ketchikan contracts with Airlift Northwest to provide emergency airlifts to Seattle area hospitals for major traumas including head and neck injuries.
