Pediatric Telehealth Built for Fairbanks Families
Fairbanks sits nearly 360 miles from Anchorage by road. A drive that takes over seven hours in good weather, and considerably longer in the depths of an interior Alaska winter. When your child wakes up sick in the middle of January, sick child care in Fairbanks, Alaska, shouldn’t require a flight south or a white-knuckle drive on the Parks Highway. That is exactly what pediatric telehealth is built for.
Alaska Children’s Urgent Care and Outreach is based in Anchorage, and we built our telehealth service specifically to reach families who can’t easily walk through our door. For Fairbanks families looking for a children’s clinic with Fairbanks and Anchorage connections, we are that bridge. The same board-certified pediatric team available in Anchorage, now accessible to your family by video, on your schedule.
Our providers understand interior Alaska. We know that respiratory season hits hard in Fairbanks, that temperatures can drop to 40 below, and that getting a child bundled up and out the door to a clinic is its own ordeal. Whether your family is near the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus, out in the North Pole area, or anywhere in the Fairbanks North Star Borough, we are available by video daily from 8am to midnight.
