Jackson Hospital and CSMS Clinics staff were honored to spread Christmas cheer by blessing others in our community this holiday season. Each year, our team proudly adopts children through Anchorage Children’s Home, helping make the season brighter for those in need. Sharing gifts and joy with these children is a meaningful tradition and a special reminder of the spirit of giving that defines our organization.

Jesse Smallwood has presented the Jackson Hospital Foundation with a generous $100,000 donation. This extraordinary gift will directly benefit Jackson Hospital through the purchase of essential equipment. Jackson Hospital and the Jackson Hospital Foundation are deeply grateful to Mr. Smallwood for his generosity and continued support. Donations such as this help address critical hospital needs that fall outside the capital expenditure budget and have a meaningful impact on patient care and services.

Jackson Hospital physicians Dr. Robin Albritton and Dr. Mark Akerson joined colleagues from across the state to meet with Chair Adam Anderson, Representative Hillary Cassel, Chair Josie Tomkow, Representative Jennifer Kincart Jonsson, Representative Vanessa Oliver, Senator Kathleen Passidomo, and House Healthcare Subcommittee Staff Director Eric Lloyd.

During the discussion, the physicians outlined real-world challenges they encounter daily, particularly the inefficiencies associated with the current prior authorization process and the prevalence of inappropriate peer-to-nonpeer interactions.

They provided concrete examples demonstrating that, despite most payors having access to electronic medical records, physicians and care teams continue to spend substantial time submitting duplicative clinical information. Their insights underscored how these administrative requirements divert focus from patient care and reduce provider efficiency.

Lawmakers were highly engaged and expressed appreciation for hearing directly from front-line clinicians who work every day to deliver high-quality care in their communities.

Thank you to Dr. Albritton and Dr. Akerson for representing Jackson Hospital in the discussion of this issue.
