Editing Sitka, Alaska (section)

===Healthcare===
There is currently one hospital serving Sitka, Edgecumbe Hospital, which sits on Japonski Island across Sitka Harbor from the city. The facility is part of the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium, or SEARHC, a non-profit tribal health consortium of 18 Native communities. The hospital serves as a regional referral center for people throughout Southeast Alaska, and also provides primary outpatient care. Numerous specialty clinics are offered at the hospital that are not available in the smaller communities such as neurology, orthopedic, dermatology, ophthalmology and denture clinics.

The former Sitka Community Hospital was purchased by the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC) in April 2019, and now functions as a long-term care facility for patients of Edgecumbe hospital.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.kcaw.org/2019/04/16/assembly-approves-sale-of-sitka-community-hospital/#:~:text=The%20city%20of%20Sitka%20is%20moving%20forward%20with,must%20go%20to%20the%20SEARHC%20board%20for%20approval.|title = Assembly approves sale of Sitka Community Hospital|date = April 16, 2019}}</ref>
