Serving Families in Butte & the Greater Mat-Su Valley Area
Butte, Alaska sits along the Old Glenn Highway between the Matanuska and Knik Rivers, just a few miles southeast of Palmer, at the foot of Bodenberg Butte. It's a farming and homesteading community at heart, and many Butte families commute to jobs and errands in Palmer, Wasilla, or Anchorage, the same way they've learned to handle their kids' healthcare: close to home when possible, and connected to Anchorage when it isn't. We know the rhythm of life here: busy sports seasons, farm chores, hunting and fishing trips, and long school days, and we built our care model around it.
Anchorage is about 42 miles from Butte, manageable for a planned appointment but a real ask when your child is running a fever at 9 pm on a school night. This ask is what Alaska Children's Urgent Care and Outreach was built for. Since there's no Butte kids walk-in clinic to drop into, our telemedicine option is the same-day alternative: you can get your child seen from home the moment symptoms start, without the drive to Anchorage.
Our outreach team also travels directly to communities across the Mat-Su Valley, bringing developmental screenings, newborn and infant care support, and health maintenance coaching to families who would otherwise face a long trip for routine pediatric care. If your family lives near Butte, Palmer, or the surrounding valley, reach out to us about our outreach clinic schedule or our same-day pediatric care, whether that's a video visit tonight or a visit at our Anchorage clinic.
The Convenience Butte Families Are Looking For
Searching for same-day care in a town without its own clinic can feel like one more thing on a full plate, especially when you're not sure whether a video visit will be enough or whether you'll end up making the drive anyway. Our care model is built to take that pressure off:
Video visits: often available the same day, no drive required
A real clinic to walk into in Anchorage, if your child needs a hands-on exam
No referral necessary, ever, for new or returning patients
Board-certified pediatric providers for newborns through adolescents
Easy billing: accepts Medicaid and most major insurance plans

What conditions can be treated through a Butte telemedicine visit?
Fevers, ear infections, sore throats, rashes, colds, flu symptoms, pink eye, and stomach bugs can all typically be evaluated through a video visit. If a provider determines your child needs a hands-on exam, they'll help you set up an in-person visit at our Anchorage clinic.
Do I need an appointment to be seen at your Anchorage clinic?
No appointment is needed. Many Butte, AK families treat our Anchorage clinic as their Butte kids' walk-in clinic, arriving during our open hours without booking ahead. However, booking online does give you the shortest wait. Our pediatric urgent care clinic in Anchorage opens daily at 11 am, and our telemedicine service is available every day from 8 am to midnight for families who'd rather start with a video visit.
