Critical Access Hospital

Enter the Critical Access Hospital (CAH) through the Emergency Department. The CAH provides the highest level of care to severely injured adults and children from throughout Southeast Alaska. Our surgeons, anesthesiologists, physician specialists, nurses, and support services are available 24 hours a day.

Safe Haven for Newborns

If you can't care for a new baby, you have options. Alaska’s Safe Haven law lets parents bring a healthy infant to any PeaceHealth hospital within 21 days of birth.

You can leave your newborn with any doctor, nurse or qualified staff member — no questions asked and no names required. This choice is legal and confidential.
