Our Mission
The mission of the Mobile Integrated Health Program is providing care, with dignity and respect, to the vulnerable populations of Ketchikan. We do this by providing personalized care and case management to clients on a non-emergent basis.
Operations

Our hours of operations is Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm. The MIH Office is located on the 3rd floor of Ketchikan Fire Department Station One, 70 Bawden Street, KTN.

All requests are made with written patient consent and information of MIH services. MIH at this time is grant funded through the State of Alaska and multiple partner agencies. We do not bill for our services at this time.
