Providence Alaska Medical Center, its staff, and the local physicians who care for those with cancer remain committed to improving oncology services and care for all Alaskans. This annual report brings you some of the work that has been accomplished over the past year.
The Providence Alaska Cancer Program received a three-year accreditation as a Comprehensive Community Cancer Center by the American College of Surgeons (ACOS) and the Commission on Cancer (COC). This designation represents a milestone for cancer care in our community.

• Patient Navigator Program
• Genetic Counseling
• Palliative Care Program
