OfflineFHP celebrates National Apprenticeship Week, recognizing apprentices from the surgery technologist, sterile processing technician and pharmacy technician program.

FHP Education invited leaders from the 354th Medical Operations Squadron (MDOS) at Eielson Air Force Base (EAFB) to observe the 2019 spring session in May. Shortly thereafter, FHP and Eielson officials signed a Memorandum of Agreement to share educational resources with one another.

Fairbanks- The delivery of triplets is something that rarely takes place in the Fairbanks Memorial Hospital (FMH) Women & Infant Center (WIS). It is so uncommon of an occurrence that no current staff could recount the last delivery of triplets at FMH. That all changed in late March.
At 11:22 and 11:23 on the morning of March 25, Ashley Zartman and Jesse McKenzie II added Jesse III, Jaedan and Aniyah to their family that already included 15-month old Koree.
