Patients and Visitors

If you should experience a problem while at the medical center, please contact the patient hotline at 907-212-3615. The service excellence manager will serve as your advocate to facilitate communication or other solutions.

To protect our patients, staff and community from the spread of COVID-19, we have four visiting levels: green, yellow, orange and red. We choose these levels based on how many people have COVID-19 in Alaska and Anchorage, and busyness of the hospital.

Visitors should check with the nurse before bringing gifts of food or drink to patients. On the Adult Critical Care Unit, please check with the nurse regarding any gifts for patients. Flowers are not allowed in the Adult Critical Care Unit.

Only mylar balloons are permitted; no rubber or latex balloons are allowed due to concerns about allergic reactions. You can reach the gift shop by calling 907-212-3159.
