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.

This collaboration underscores SEARHC’s ongoing goal of providing patient-centered care, improving health outcomes, and expanding access to vital healthcare services across Southeast.
