Alaska Regional Hospital

About

Established in 1963 as Anchorage Presbyterian Hospital, Alaska Regional Hospital began as a collaborative effort between local physicians and the Presbyterian Church. Originally located at 8th and L Street downtown, the hospital relocated to DeBarr Road in 1976, evolving into a 250-bed licensed and accredited facility. For over five decades, Alaska Regional has been dedicated to meeting the medical needs of Alaskans, continually enhancing the range of services and expertise available within the state.

In 1994, Alaska Regional partnered with HCA, connecting Alaskans to the advanced medical resources of one of the nation's largest healthcare providers. With a team of over 1,000 employees and more than 550 independent practitioners, the hospital offers a comprehensive array of health services to the community. As the designated Shriners clinic facility in Alaska, it hosts monthly free immunization clinics for schoolchildren and provides free prostate cancer screenings, health education seminars, community health fairs, and support groups for cancer and stroke survivors.

Uniquely equipped with its own landing strip, Alaska Regional is the only non-military hospital in the state that allows LifeFlight Air Ambulance to transport critical care patients directly to its 24-hour Emergency Department. The hospital also offers complimentary valet parking for patients and visitors. Consistently accredited by The Joint Commission, Alaska Regional upholds the highest standards in healthcare monitoring.

Committed to supporting local events and organizations that enhance healthcare and public safety, Alaska Regional collaborates with groups such as the Cancer Society, Muscular Dystrophy Association, American Heart Association, Blood Bank of Alaska, and Abused Women's Aid in Crisis. Proudly serving from one generation to the next, Alaska Regional remains steadfast in its mission to deliver exceptional healthcare across Alaska—from starting lives to saving lives.
