Juneau has been without hospice and home care since mid-September.
“There is a massive health care worker crisis happening in this country. And it’s especially challenging in Alaska. And it is affecting people’s ability to get medical care,” she said.
“All across the country, the health care worker shortage is affecting especially nonprofit and smaller health care providers,” she said. Nathan Rumsey, Bartlett Regional Hospital’s business development strategist, said the hospital’s leadership decided to take over services in mid-August and applied for licenses in mid-November. He said he’s hopeful the hospital will get its licenses in the next 60 to 90 days.
Rumsey also said the lapse in service means that primary care physicians and the emergency department are now filling in.
