Foundation Health Partners operates Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, a 152-bed, community-owned hospital located 340 miles from the nearest civilian hospital. As the most advanced medical facility for hundreds of miles, it serves communities across roughly 250,000 square miles of Interior Alaska. Supporting patients throughout this vast region requires a dependable workforce and steady access to qualified healthcare professionals.
