Built For Petersburg Families
Petersburg is located on Mitkof Island and can only be accessed by ferry or airplane. There are no roads connecting Petersburg to Alaska’s highway system. If you have a pediatric issue, that often means balancing the Alaska Marine Highway schedule with a flight that day or watching and waiting for something to get better. Alaska Children's Urgent Care and Outreach was created with this gap in access in mind. So your family should not have to coordinate with tides, weather delays, or the next flight out of town to get your child the care they need.
Limited local access to pediatric specialty care is a reality of island life, and "see if it gets worse" shouldn't have to be the fallback plan.
Our pediatric telemedicine service connects parents in Petersburg with a provider who can assess a sick child, answer a developmental question, or help manage a chronic condition, without taking time away from an already busy day.
