Providence Alaska Medical Center has transitioned to an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. COVID-19 crisis In August 2021, Andrea Caballero, an infectious disease doctor who works at Providence Hospital, said they were "on the verge of a hospital system collapse" due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There were staff shortages, lack of equipment and supplies, and too many unvaccinated people among the population for the hospitals to effectively treat. There were no mask or vaccine mandates in Anchorage, at the time; it was a policy of the recently elected mayor who successfully ran on a platform of no mask or vaccine mandates.

Puffin Island (Alaska)

Puffin Island (Iñupiaq: Aġviat) is a rocky islet in the Kotzebue Sound, Alaska. It is located off Spafarief Bay at the mouth of Eschscholtz Bay, just south of the Choris Peninsula, in the Northwest Arctic Borough at 66°13′40″N 161°51′31″W. Island This island is located 415 m (454 yd) NW of Chamisso Island, 58 mi (93 km) . SW of Selawik, Kotzebue-Kobuk Low. Puffin Island is a steep rock and, though much smaller than Chamisso Island, it has many more nesting birds on its surface, especially horned puffins, black-legged kittiwakes, and thick-billed murres which build their nests on the steep-walled cliffs that fall into Spafarief Bay. Iñupiat cross from the mainland to gather eggs, primarily from kittiwakes and murres. With the exception of birds and the occasional fox that crosses frozen sea in winter, nothing lives on the islands. Walruses, seals, and whales can often be seen in Spafarief Bay. Both islands are part of the Chamisso Wilderness in the Chukchi Sea unit of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. This island was named in 1826 by Captain Frederick William Beechey (1831, p. 255), RN. He wrote, "Detached from Chamisso there is a steep rock which by way of distinction we named Puffin Island." Puffin Island has been a Natural Reserve since December 7, 1912. The protected area (Chamisso Wilderness) includes Chamisso Island and Puffin Island, as well as some rocky islets nearby.

Redoubt Lake

Redoubt Lake, or Kunaa Shak Áayi, is a long, narrow lake on Baranof Island, near Sitka, Alaska. It is located in a glacially-carved valley in Tongass National Forest. It was named Ozero Glubokoye, meaning "deep lake", in 1809 by the Russian navigator Ivan Vasilyev. Redoubt Lake is one of the largest meromictic lakes in North America. Its water is fresh to a depth of 330 ft (100 m), below which is a dense, saltwater layer. The lake's maximum depth is 870 ft (270 m) with a mean depth of 460 ft (140 m). Its surface area covers 3,200 acres (13 km2). It has been theorized that the lake was once a former fjord that was cut off from the ocean via isostatic rebound, leading to seawater being trapped. In the early 19th century Redoubt Lake was part of Russian America. The Russians established a small settlement near the lake's outlet known variously as Ozersk Redoubt, Ozyorsk Redoubt, The Redoubt, Seleniye Dranishnikova, or Dranishnikov Settlement. Salmon traps were set in the lake and the catch was salted and dried at Ozersk Redoubt. Between 1817 and 1832 the Russians at Sitka and Ozersk Redoubt salted an average of 20,000 salmon annually. Fish harvests by the Russians at Redoubt Lake sometimes exceeded 50,000 sockeye salmon per year. Annual escapements possibly exceeded 100,000 sockeye. In the 1980s, sockeye escapement or returns of adult fish had declined to an average less than 10,000 annually. Some years the numbers measured in the low hundreds. Notes
Swan Lake (Alaska)

Swan Lake (Tlingit: X̱’wáat’ Héen Áakʼu), is a small lake located in the center of the town of Sitka, Alaska.

There is a small dock to fish from located on the east side of the lake. Notes
Russian-American Building No. 29

The Russian-American Building No. 29 (Russian: Российско-Американское Здание № 29), also known as Tilson Building or Building No. 29, Sitka, is a historic commercial building at 202-206 Lincoln Street in Sitka, Alaska. A National Historic Landmark, it is the only Russian colonial commercial structure standing in Sitka, and one of only two Russian colonial buildings in the city (the other is the Russian Bishop's House, also a National Historic Landmark.) Description The original portion of the building is a square log structure, 2-1/2 stories tall, measuring about 28 feet (8.5 m) (four sazhen) square, and resting on a raised stone foundation. A two-story gallery, sheltered by a shed roof, extended to the east. The outside logs from which it is built were squared off to 18 inches (46 cm). The interior walls are built from dimensionally smaller logs, and the floors were made of half-logs secured into joists and sills by tenons. The structure is estimated to have been built in the 1840s, at a time when many buildings were built by Finnish laborers brought in by Russian administrators, and was first used as for residential purposes. The building has undergone a number of alterations in the intervening time, but these have managed to preserve much of its historic fabric. It is unknown if it was sided at the time of its construction, but early images depict it with the same type of shiplap siding it has today. Early images also show a two-story ell to its rear. The building was originally built with its back directly on the waterfront; infill has created new land in this area. In the 1880s the building underwent significant alterations. An addition extended the gallery area further to the east, and a new roof fully incorporated this space into the structure. Window spacing on this addition was made to match that of the main block, and the new roof was augmented by four equally-spaced gable-roof dormers. The building underwent further modernizing work in the 1960s, some of which was in response to deterioration of the log structure. It was the subject of a major rehabilitative effort in the mid-1980s. The building was declared a National Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

Sanctuary River Cabin No. 31

The Sanctuary River Cabin No. 31, also known as Sanctuary Patrol Cabin, is a log cabin that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The listing includes an outhouse and a tool box and storage shed. It was built by the Alaska Road Commission in 1926 as the center of a road construction camp, and was adopted by park rangers in wintertime dog sled patrols as a replacement for a different cabin located about five miles south. This was the cabin where Adolph Murie "began his field work investigating the wolf-Dall sheep relationship in the park...in the summer of 1939."

Национальный исторический парк Ситки

Национальный исторический парк Ситки (англ. Sitka National Historical Park, также известен как Парк Тотемов) — национальный исторический парк в городе Ситка, посвящённый истории местности от 1804 года, когда произошла битва при Ситке между русскими пушными охотниками и местными тлинкитами, в результате которой Ново-Архангельск стал столицей Русской Америки, до продажи Аляски в 1867 году. Парк занимает территорию около 45 га, в основном это лесной массив ели ситхинской с протекающей рекой, где в сезон можно наблюдать нерест лососёвых. На территории находятся исторические постройки, среди которых выделяется бревенчатый Русский Архиерейский дом 1840-х гг, который был центром прозелитизма Русской православной церкви. В парке также есть коллекция тотемных столбов. Национальный памятник Ситка был создан по указу президента Тафта 23 марта 1910 года, чтобы сохранить русские постройки и коллекцию тотемных столбов. В 1942 году территория была передана под контроль армии США, после чего в результате строительства военных объектов произошло удаление огромного количества гравия из реки. В 1947 году парк перешёл под ведомство Министерства внутренних дел. В 1965 году был открыт новый центр для посетителей, а в 1966 году памятник был добавлен в Национальный реестр исторических мест США. 18 октября 1972 года национальный памятник был преобразован в национальный исторический парк. В 2005 году спустя 200 лет после фактического окончания Русско-тлинкитской войны на территории парка состоялась церемония примирения, в которой участвовали в том числе и потомки Катлиана и Баранова. Национальный исторический парк Ситки в 2011 году посетило 186864 туриста. Галерея Примечания
Sitka Pioneer Home

The Sitka Pioneer Home is an assisted living home, located in the U.S. state of Alaska at 120 Katlian Street in downtown Sitka. It is operated by the Division of Pioneer Homes within the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services and it is the oldest and fourth largest of the six homes in the State. The building was designed by the Tacoma firm of Heath, Gove & Bell. Currently, the Home can care for 65 residents including those suffering from Alzheimer's disease, or other forms of dementia. The home provides three Levels of Care: Level 1 or "Independent", Level 2 or "Basic Assistance", and Level 3 or "24-Hour Care". The property, including the Totem Square located across Katlian Street, was placed on the listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. History A contingent of U.S. Marine Corps had been stationed from 1879 to 1892 in a group of barracks built by Russia in the 1800s, located at the actual site of Sitka Pioneer Home. When the troops were withdrawn and the base closed in 1912, the site, which had expanded with the addition of several buildings, remained unused. When the Territory of Alaska was established in August 1912, Sitka representatives asked to the Navy Department the permission to create the Sitka Pioneer Home in the area. The Sitka Pioneer Home was opened in September 1913 on a $10,000 budget. The home struggled financially until the 1930s, when the federal and territorial governments appropriated around $400,000 to replace the dilapidated and fire-prone buildings, creating a new home capable of caring for 170 men. The Public Works Administration provided financial assistance for the facility. In 1949, upon mandate from the territorial legislature, an expansion was constructed, with women permitted to be taken under care. The Pioneer Home has also played a large part in Sitka's Alaska Day festivities. The parade through downtown ends close to the grounds and hundreds of people mingle at a free reception inside the home with live entertainment traditionally provided by the New Archangel Dancers. The annual Alaska Day croquet tournament takes place on the grounds at the same time. Prospector statue A statue entitled The Prospector, sculpted by Alonzo Victor Lewis, serves as the centerpiece of the grounds of the Sitka Pioneer Home. The sculpture was supposed to be modeled after real-life pioneer William Clark "Skagway Bill" Fonda, a resident of Skagway and originally of Fonda, New York. This statue is the larger of two models that Lewis created. The smaller of the pair sits in Seattle's Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park in Pioneer Square. After more than three tons of clay and 21 years of fundraising, the sculpture was finally shipped to Sitka in time for its dedication at 1949's Alaska Day.
