Learn moreA real, substantial regional hospital
The Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Regional Hospital is a 39-bed acute-care facility -- the region's only emergency room, operating as a Level 4 Trauma center with limited on-site surgical services.
The strongest access point in the region
Relative to the more than 50 surrounding villages -- none of which have a hospital of their own -- Bethel's facility is genuinely the strongest healthcare access point across an area the size of Oregon, backed by 41 village clinics and 5 sub-regional clinics.
Modest by national standards
By national-comparison standards, a 39-bed hospital with a base-level Level 4 Trauma designation runs genuinely modest -- confirm current, specific specialty-care availability directly with YKHC before relocating for medical-access reasons.
Key takeaways
- Bethel's hospital is genuinely the strongest healthcare access point across the entire surrounding region.
- By national-comparison standards, the facility runs modest (39 beds, Level 4 Trauma).
- Confirm current, specific specialty-care availability directly with YKHC.
