Welcome to ACP! Partnering with families in a medical home where healthy kids can grow!
ACP is a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) located in Anchorage, AK with over 40 years of experience providing pediatric care. We are pleased to offer you the expertise of our specially trained pediatric staff. To ensure that your child is receiving the best care we encourage to follow our tips for good health care below. In return for your involvement and communication, we promise to do our best. We believe the result will be better care and a stronger relationship.
Choose one of our pediatricians or nurse practitioners as your child’s primary health care provider. This provider works closely with a care team, including a registered nurse, to allow for continuity of care and individualized treatment plans. We feel a consistent provider improves health care, but if your child’s provider is unavailable, we can always arrange an appointment with another of our providers.
Follow the Well Child Schedule for physicals and immunizations recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. At these visits we assess growth, development, nutritional status, safety risks, and screen for illness. It is a great time to ask questions.
Share all information with us regarding your child’s health even if you think it embarrassing, too personal or unimportant. Let us know if your child is seeing other health professionals and/or is receiving treatment not prescribed by us. It is also important that these health professionals know that ACP provides your primary care. An accurate assessment requires the “whole picture”.
Follow the recommended treatment plan and report any problems. Please let us know if you are confused about a treatment, a prescribed medication, or if your child’s condition worsens.
Realize that any treatment (vitamins, herbs, prescription drugs, alternative medications, over-the-counter medications, chiropractic adjustments, etc.) has potential risks and benefits. The best treatment is safe and effective. Sometimes this means no treatment at all, just cautious observation and rest.
Tell us when something is troubling you, whether it’s that the front door is difficult to open, that one of us was short-tempered with you, or that the prescription doesn’t seem to be working. ACP is committed to the improvement of health care and your care experience at ACP is at the center of this commitment.
Patient Centered Medical Home Highlights
Same-day Appointments
We reserve times for same-day appointments in case you need to see one of our providers for a sudden illness or other acute reason. Schedule a same-day appointment. If you need a same-day visit and do no see one available online, please call to schedule or speak to a nurse.
Care Coordination
Our primary care providers are the hub of all relevant care needs of the patient and manage a team of care coordinators and clinical staff that not only coordinate care within the walls of our clinic, but seamlessly transfer patients across multiple entities that may include community resources, labs, specialists and hospitals
After-Hours Care
If you need medical advice after clinic hours, you can call our after hours nurse line at 907-777-1800 for guidance regarding treatment options or when to seek urgent or emergency care.
Evidence-Based Care
Your provider will help you consider options based on scientific evidence. Evidence-based medicine is the process of systematically reviewing, appraising and using clinical research findings to aid the delivery of optimum clinical care to patients.
