Providence Alaska Medical Center is located at 3200 Providence Drive in Anchorage, Alaska, is Alaska's largest hospital, has 341 beds and more than 500 physicians on staff. It is a full-service facility, featuring the state's most advanced medical equipment and treatment systems available. Some features include: The Children's Hospital at Providence, the only one of its kind in Alaska; a Maternity Center, featuring the state's only Level 111 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit; Heart and Cancer Centers; Alaska's largest Emergency Department with LifeGuard air ambulance transport; full diagnostic, rehabilitation and surgical services; and both inpatient and outpatient mental health and substance abuse recovery services for adults and children. Other programs include a Family Practice Center, Sleep Disorders Center, Providence Imaging Center, Providence Home Health Care and telemedicine services for other Alaskan communities.

Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage is part of the Providence Health & Services in Alaska, which oversees several other Alaska medical centers and long-term care facilities. With more than 3,000 employees, Providence Health System is the second-largest private employer in Alaska.

As of 2005, a $48.9-million expansion project that includes construction of a new medical office building, a parking garage and a sky bridge to connect the new structures to the existing hospital.

With the increased need and demand for physician services in Alaska, especially for specialists, Providence Alaska Medical Center has run out of space for leasing physician office space on its current campus, so planning for a new medical office building began about two years ago. The awarding of the contract sets in motion the actual construction of the project, which is expected to be completed in the spring of 2006.

In preparation for the project, roadway expansion and construction was completed this past summer, which extended Piper Street from Tudor Road through to Providence Drive. Construction on the structure itself began in April 2005.
