Southeast Medical Clinic Joins SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium Network
Southeast Medical Clinic in Juneau, which specializes in internal medicine, will join the SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium network in April.
SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC), one of the largest Native-run healthcare organizations in the United States, is bringing Southeast Medical Clinic (SMC) into its care network in April.
Same High-Level Service, Expanded Client Base
SEARHC says the partnership will enhance the delivery of high-quality, comprehensive healthcare services and reinforce the nonprofit organization’s commitment to expanding access to specialty care and strengthening family medicine offerings throughout Southeast.
SEARHC and SMC are finalizing the administrative details of the transition, with the shared goal for SMC providers to begin seeing patients as SEARHC employees starting April 1. The providers will continue offering the same care at the current clinic location on Willoughby Avenue in Juneau.
As part of SEARHC’s care network, SMC will continue delivering internal medicine services while leveraging SEARHC’s broader healthcare resources.
“SEARHC shares in our vision of creating a medical practice that treats every patient with dignity and optimum care. We are eager to combine the strengths of our respective organizations and further enhance the services we can offer the Juneau community and greater Southeast region,” says SMC founder Dr. Catherine Peimann. “Our shared commitment to recruiting and retaining highly trained and compassionate medical professionals, while bringing increasingly advanced technologies and innovations to Juneau, helps us deliver on that vision.”
This collaboration underscores SEARHC’s ongoing goal of providing patient-centered care, improving health outcomes, and expanding access to vital healthcare services across Southeast.
“We are excited to welcome Southeast Medical Clinic into our network, as it provides us with a unique opportunity to bring more specialized care closer to home for our patients,” says SEARHC President and CEO Charles Clement. “This partnership reflects our shared commitment to serving the healthcare needs of the Juneau community and the greater Southeast region. It enhances our ability to offer the best possible care to our patients by integrating internal medicine and family medicine in one mission.”
