About Ketchikan:
Ketchikan, Alaska, is truly the beginning of the last frontier!
Set at the southernmost entrance to Alaska’s famed Inside Passage— situated on an island with a network of waterways that migrate through some of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful wilderness in the world—Ketchikan is best known for three things: feisty salmon, idyllic scenery, and an incredibly rich Alaska Native culture. Our clinic and wellness center is centrally located in Ketchikan and we serve about 14,000 people from Ketchikan and surrounding areas. This multiplies exponentially during the summer tourist season. People are super friendly and very community-oriented as a result of living on an island, eager to share what they know and love about living life in southeast Alaska. Ketchikan is a great place to live with endless outdoor and indoor activities with an active arts community, year-round sports and recreational groups for just about everyone.
