Did you know that back-to-school immunizations are available at Alaska’s Public Health Centers?
August is the perfect time to catch up on vaccinations, and there is no charge for childhood immunizations (through age 18) provided by public health centers. Contact a public health center near you about an appointment today or check for upcoming immunization clinics in your area:

Welcome to Alaska's Public Health Nursing's web site.
I hope you will get some idea of why I believe that public health nursing in Alaska is a great professional opportunity and personal adventure. Alaska is truly a land of possibilities.
Public health nursing is contributing every day to the improvement of the health of Alaskans and their families. We are excited to be working with communities to solve public health concerns and to create community solutions that will improve the health of all Alaskans in the years to come. There are many challenges in public health in Alaska — and you can count on public health nursing to be ready for them.
Thank you for visiting our web site. Please let us know if you have questions or if we can assist you.
Have a great visit!
Rhonda D. Richtsmeier, R.N., M.N.,
Chief of Public Health Nursing
