St. Elias is located in the heart of Anchorage Alaska, but we have welcomed patients from all over the United States. Our physicians are board certified and we have 24-hour skilled nursing care along with therapists who work as a team on an individualized care plan for each patient. We consider the hospital to be a “bridge” of care from an acute setting to rehabilitation, home or another care facility that requires less intensive medical attention.
