Ketchikan General Hospital is a critical
access and long-term care
facility providing a variety of services
including comprehensive trauma, inpatient (25 beds), outpatient, and home health
services and a long-term care facility (29 beds).
Located on an island 680 air miles from Seattle, Washington, Ketchikan
General Hospital is more self-reliant than most small rural hospitals found in
the "lower 48." Among the services available at Ketchikan General are
Diagnostic Imaging including CT, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, and digital mammography,
an Intensive Care Unit, home health, physical and occupational therapy, an accredited cancer care
program, up-to-date technology and medical equipment, an emergency physician and
staff on site 24 hours a day, a phase II cardiac rehabilitation program, and
diabetes education.
The medical community is complemented by several EMT services and medi-flight
service from the outer islands to Ketchikan. Ketchikan contracts with medi-vac companies
to provide emergency airlifts to Seattle area hospitals for major
traumas.
