Ketchikan General Hospital Foundation of Ketchikan, Alaska

The KGH Foundation Board of Directors are committed to improving and advancing the technology of Ketchikan General Hospital. Each year, the board raises funds to purchase new technology and replacement equipment to both ensure the quality of patient care at KGH and offset costs to KGH in the form of equipment and technology donations.

The “whys” are simple–we want to provide the best quality care and service. Ketchikan deserves this–and together we can make it happen.
