Alaska Native Medical Center

We were here to visit the Gift shop and view the Alaska Native ivory carvings. Many excellent pieces. Please note they only take cash or check and do not take credit cards or debit cards.

Took my kid to the ER and it was packed with people who had conditions that where better suited for a primary care physician and so forth. The amount of people that where there for alcohol related issues was mind boggling. It seems like this hospital needs a serious financial/medical audit.

I'm not allowed to say what I don't like. However if you're native, Native American, you'll like the treatment from the excellent nursing staff. The food for patients when you're back to solid foods is excellent and arrives hot. There's housing and transportation and other things that make your stay better.

Check out the amazing Native art. No need to be or know a patient to go. Take the elevator to the 5th floor and walk down and you will see a phenomenal collection.

I came here as a travel OR nurse and I was only going to be here 3 months. It has now been 9 months and I love it here. The people are great to work with. The job, pay and overtime are perfect for me. I would highly recommend working at this hospital in the OR.
