Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium

The Board typically alternates bi-monthly meetings between Juneau and Sitka, but will occasionally convene in a smaller village.

As of 2012 SEARHC employs approximately 1000 employees throughout Southeast Alaska, and maintains 18 staffed facilities[1] which includes the Joint Commission-accredited Mt.

In Southeast Alaska, Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium runs healthcare facilities across 27 communities as of 2022, including hospitals in Sitka and Wrangell;[2] although it originally served Native Americans only, it has expanded access and combined with other local facilities over time.

In 2004, SEARHC developed the Frontier Extended Stay Clinic (FESC) program that allows five primary care clinics in remote Alaska and Washington to provide around-the-clock care for seriously injured or ill patients, and patients who require monitoring before returning home.
