Petersburg Medical Center

Over twelve months, Petersburg Advancing Telepsychiatry (PAT) will establish and build capacity for a robust, sustainable integrated telemedicine framework serving all of Petersburg Borough, and bridge current gaps in our service region's access to critical behavioral health care for those affected by substance use disorder and opioid use disorder. The target rural service region is the 4,000-square mile area served by Petersburg Medical Center - Petersburg Borough and the surrounding rural census areas, located in central Southeast Alaska and accessible only by boat or plane, comprise both a HRSA-designated rural area and a Health Professional Shortage Area.
