Palmer Family Practice and
Urgent Care Health Care Services
Open seven days a week, 9 a.m. thorugh 7 p.m.
Family practitioners specialize in health care for all ages, from newborns to senior citizens. Family practitioners are skilled at managing common medical problems, and are trained to focus on preventive care.
Children
Each child is special to us. We enjoy teaching young ones (and their parents) that "going to the doctor" can be a positive experience. We see each child within their family and each family within the community. We know and use community resources to better the life of each of our young patients.
Teens
Teens have special health concerns. Because we take the time to listen, teens are comfortable sharing their concerns with us. We encourage questions about any topic. We support teens in developing healthy lifestyle patterns that will endure throughout their lives.
Adults
Each person has unique medical needs and expectations. We tailor the care that we provide to our patients on an individual basis. We are committed to promoting routine health checkups and screening. We believe that preventive health care lowers the occurrence of disease, improves the quality of life and is cost effective.

Urgent Care is available on a walk-in basis or same day appointment.
Please note that we do not treat life-threatening illness (call 911) or complicated injuries (go to Mat-Su Regional Medical Center).
