Valley Medical Care

What Valley Medical Care does

Valley Medical Care, PC is a private professional corporation operating a comprehensive family medicine practice headquartered at 1801 Salmon Creek Lane in Juneau, Alaska. The practice delivers full life-stage primary care spanning obstetrics, pediatrics, adult medicine, geriatrics, and preventative services, supported by an in-house diagnostic suite (X-ray, ultrasound, treadmill stress testing, and laboratory). Clinical staffing comprises eight family physicians and five or more advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), backed by a broader team of RNs, lab and imaging technicians, medical coders, medical assistants, and front office staff, with total headcount in the 51-100 range.

Revenue is generated through direct medical services billing across office visits, procedures, diagnostic studies, and hospital-based care coordination, with in-network participation in major commercial plans including Aetna, Blue Cross, and Moda. The practice operates on a relationship-based care model emphasizing continuity from preconception through geriatric care, supported by extended evening clinic hours (8am-8pm), after-hours phone availability, and a digital patient portal for scheduling and bill pay. Procedures requiring hospital facilities (e.g., colonoscopy, EGD) are performed at Bartlett Regional Hospital with pre- and post-procedure care retained at Valley Medical Care, and high-risk pregnancies are coordinated with Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialists in Seattle or Anchorage. The practice also functions as a teaching site for University of Washington residency and medical student programs.

The business is independently owned by its physician group and led operationally by Office Manager Kim Ferrin and Practice Administrator Nichia Estevez. Sharon Fisher is identified as a founder and co-owner. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no external private equity or venture capital ownership, and no evidence of expansion outside Juneau. The practice is actively recruiting locum tenens physicians and future partners, and continues to accept new obstetrics and pediatric patients, indicating modest organic capacity growth within a single, geographically concentrated market.
