Location and Directions
We are located in the main Providence building, Tower A suite 358 on the third floor.
Due to Covid-19 regulations here at the hospital, Entrance 4 is currently closed off, Main Entrance 3 is still open in C tower or you can access the parking garage, which is the closest entrance to us. The parking garage is connected to tower A, directly across the street from the Alaska Airlines Center and is labeled “Public Parking” or “PS2”. The 1st-floor entrance is the only entrance open in the parking garage at this time. The parking garage is open to patient parking on all levels, if you park on any other level than level 1 then you will take the staircase down to the 1st floor. There will be a nurse at the doors, asking the COVID regulation questions, making sure you’re wearing a proper mask and checking temperatures. If you have a pending Covid-19 test, please call our office prior to your appointment.

Travel
If you have traveled outside of Alaska or are planning to before your appointment, please call our office at 907-268-2067. If you have traveled outside of Alaska, the following criteria have to be met before we will see you:
- Get PCR COVID-19 test 1–3 days before traveling
- Get another PCR COVID-19 test 3–5 days after traveling.
- Present negative test results for both tests before seeing us. This can be done through our patient portal or through email.

Exposure
If you have had an exposure or someone in your family has possibly had a COVID-19 exposure, please call to cancel your appointment immediately. Let us know the date of exposure and we will inform you when we can rebook your appointment.
Visitors with Patients
At this time, we are requiring adult patients to come alone and only one parent comes with one child. Unless it is medically necessary, this is what we require to reduce possible exposures in our office & the hospital. In addition, we are not allowing patients to sit in the waiting room with other patients and so we ask you not to arrive at our office any more than 20 minutes before your appointment.
Masks
Masks are required for all people over the age of 2. We do not allow handkerchiefs, buffs, or neck gaiters to suffice as masks. You may be asked to exchange your face covering for one that we provide you. Masks must be worn at all times and cover your mouth & nose. If Dr. Brown would like to look under your mask, she will let you know and both parties will agree not to talk while she is looking at the skin under the mask.
As the situation regarding COVID-19 continues to evolve, we are committed to maintaining a safe environment for our patients and employees. We also understand the importance of support to the healing process. We are allowing ONE parent to come with a child patient & able-bodied adult patients should come alone.
Visitor expectations:
- Enter and exit the hospital at the main entrance 3 or the 1st floor Parking Garage entrance of Public Parking Structure 2 (PS2) .
- Visitors will be screened upon entry every time.
- Visitors should arrive in an appropriate mask and the mask must be worn at all times during the visit. Bandanas, buffs, or gaiters are not allowed.
