The clinic, located just down the hill from SEARHC’s Ethel Lund Medical Center in Juneau, is designed to provide a variety of services for medically stable patients, offering a safe, well-equipped environment for procedures that do not require an operating room but benefit from the controlled setting and specially trained staff of a dedicated procedure space. The clinic includes two modern, fully equipped procedure rooms, two exam rooms, and a sterile processing area to ensure the highest level of care and safety.

This facility will allow specialists in gynecology, general surgery, urology, orthopedics, podiatry, dentistry, and others to perform select procedures in a convenient, community-based, outpatient setting.

“Our goal is to bring the highest standard of care to Southeast Alaska while ensuring that patients can access these services locally,” says Dr. Cate Buley, senior vice president and chief medical officer for SEARHC. “This procedure clinic represents a significant advancement for our community and provides an alternative to traveling to larger cities like Seattle or Anchorage for specialty care.”
