Alaska Island Community Services announces Denise McPherson will be its newest medical practitioner. She is an advanced nurse practitioner specializing in family practice and will be providing a new same-day clinic in Wrangell.
McPherson moved to Wrangell in April 2014, serving as the hospital’s nursing director. She completed her masters of science in nursing in 2012, and has been a registered nurse since 2009.
The same-day service clinic is a response to patient feedback. It will provide medical access for patients with acute illnesses like common colds, flu, pink eye, skin rashes, urinary tract infections. Patients being treated or taking medication for chronic or ongoing conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure should continue to consult with their primary care provider.
