Open-Access Scheduling (OAS) is a new approach that makes it easier for you to see your health care provider when you need them. Instead of waiting weeks for an appointment, OAS helps you get same-day or next-day access to medical care.
With OAS, you can:
Get efficient same-day or next-day scheduling for faster care.
See your Primary Care Provider (PCP) – whether that’s a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant – for more consistent, personal care.
Improve your health outcomes by visiting your PCP or care team regularly.
Reduce wait times so you spend less time waiting and more time getting the care you need.
Access telehealth appointments if you live in one of our Villages, making care more convenient from home.
How to Schedule an Appointment
Call anytime after 8:00am to schedule a same-day or next-day appointment.
Central Scheduling: 907-451-6682 ext. 1053
Keeping & Canceling Appointments
If you cannot keep your appointment, please call Central Scheduling right away at 907-451-6682 ext. 1053. Canceling early allows us to offer that spot to another patient who needs care.
Future Appointments Still Available
We understand that not every visit can be same-day or next-day. Scheduled future appointments remain available for:
Elders who may need more time to plan ahead
Patients living in Villages who must travel to Fairbanks
Other circumstances where advance scheduling is necessary
