About the Ketchikan Cancer Center:
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.
