Assignment done. One extra day in Anchorage. 🍂

Dennis P., NP, used his free time to take in the mountains, the valleys, the fall colors, and a stop at the Eagle River Nature Center, then shared a few photos with us.

Some of the best parts of this work happen after the clinic day ends.

Many of the communities we serve are tribal nations, and we don't take that lightly.

At our retreat last month, Blackfeet cultural educator Treyace Yellow Owl shared stories with our team about clan history, traditional wild medicines, and buffalo stones and the care they're given. We left humbled by how much there is to learn.

This Native American Heritage Month, thank you to the people who have welcomed our providers, taught us, and trusted us with their health. We hope to keep earning that trust.

"The toughest job you'll ever love." That's how Rob R., NP, describes spending close to two years in a small, remote community on the Yukon River Delta, and we couldn't have said it better ourselves.

A WWII wreck, spotted from above. ✈️

While exploring on her day off, WMS-contracted NP Sarah Kelley flew her drone over what's believed to be a downed DC-3 from World War II.

The things you can find in Alaska on your time off... especially with a drone in hand.

Happy National Healthcare Facilities Week to the small rural facilities making a huge impact.

Critical Access Hospitals, Community Health Clinics, and the small-but-mighty buildings that anchor care in remote areas: we see you, and we know exactly how hard you're working. Building or updating infrastructure in places that are hours from the nearest supply run is no small feat, and it takes real commitment from health administrators to make it happen.

We wouldn't be able to bring care to these communities without the spaces and resources you fight to maintain. Thank you for everything you do behind the scenes to keep the doors open.

If your rural health facility needs more providers, we'd love to help. Submit a staffing request: https://f.mtr.cool/aa8ahjl5hv

Meet Joey, our VP of Business Development. If you've ever wondered how we keep expanding into new areas and connecting with the right communities, Joey's a big part of that answer. He's got a knack for building relationships that go somewhere, and it shows in the growth we've seen.

When he's not working, you can find him spending time with his wife and their two young sons at the pumpkin patch (or golf course).

Thanks for everything you bring to the team, Joey. We see you making waves!

What's it actually like to work "up there"?

Words only get you so far. So here's a glimpse: villages tucked into some of the most remote corners of Alaska, the kind of places our providers call home base for weeks or months at a time.

It's different. It's demanding. And for the right provider, it's the most rewarding work they'll ever do.

You don't have to figure it out alone. If you want to learn more about working in environments like these, visit our website or send us a DM. We'll support you every step of the way.
