Patient Handbook

At Bristol Bay Area Health Corporation (BBAHC), our goal is to put our patients at the center of everything we do.  As part of our commitment, we invite you to access a new resource developed for patients and their families to help answer common questions that might arise when accessing health care.  We hope this patient handbook will be a helpful guide to learn about our services and standards of care and to navigate our campus and be in touch with our departments.  Thank you for the opportunity to serve you in the Bristol Bay region!
