Emergency Medical Transport
Patients in need of emergent treatment that cannot be provided at Dahl Clinic are generally transported via private emergency transport planes to hospitals in Juneau, Anchorage, or Seattle. Skagway Fire Department provides EMS service to transport patients to Dahl Clinic. EMS is activated by calling 911. Emergency Air Transport is used to transport emergent patients from rural areas to secondary care facilities. This service can be quite costly, in the tens of thousands per flight! In order to give community members a peace of mind and substantial savings for transport, several of the Emergency Transport Services typically utilized by Dahl Memorial Clinic offer Medevac Insurance. It is the policy of Dahl Memorial Clinic to attempt to use the medevac service requested by a patient, but ultimately in an emergent situation, Dahl medical staff are compelled to choose the medevac service that is best able to get the patient to advanced care in the timeliest manner.
