ALASKA WOMEN'S CANCER CARE

What ALASKA WOMEN'S CANCER CARE does

Alaska Women's Cancer Care is a private, single-site gynecologic oncology medical practice headquartered at 3851 Piper Street in Anchorage, Alaska. It operates as the only gynecologic oncology group in the state, staffed by three board-certified gynecologic oncologists — Dr. Joanie Mayer Hope, Dr. Melissa Hardesty, and Dr. Kathryn Pennington — supported by a nurse practitioner, two registered nurses, a certified medical assistant, and administrative personnel (15 employees total). The practice serves women diagnosed with cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar cancers across Alaska, providing care that would otherwise require out-of-state travel.

The practice delivers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary service menu spanning the full continuum of gynecologic cancer care. Core clinical services include state-of-the-art oncologic surgery, chemotherapy, radiation oncology, and access to clinical trials. Supportive and ancillary offerings extend the model into fertility preservation, palliative care, genetic counseling, oncology rehabilitation, survivorship support, and a "Cancer and Creativity" therapeutic program. These services are delivered through in-office appointments at the Anchorage location, with intake facilitated by downloadable patient information forms and a referral-based GTM motion driven by physicians and the practice's institutional partnership with Alaska Native Medical Center.

Revenue is generated through professional-services billing for clinical care under a private-payer/insurance model; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The practice's market positioning rests on structural monopoly within Alaska for its subspecialty, combined with community-facing partnerships (Let Every Woman Know – Alaska, Any Mountain Project, ANMC) that support awareness, education, and referral flow. There is no disclosed funding, no parent organization, and no evidence of expansion beyond the single Anchorage site.
