Ms. Jagielski oversees a six-bed critical access hospital that offers inpatient and outpatient services, including a 24-hour level IV trauma center emergency department. She also oversees Providence’s 40-bed long-term care facility, also in Seward, and Providence’s 22-bed long-term care facility in Kodiak. Ms. Jagielski has led the opening of several new service lines at the Seward hospital, including wound care, infusion services, mammography, echocardiograms and the creation of a sexual assault response team. As part of the hospital’s recruitment and retention efforts, she has partnered with public and private entities to create more caregiver housing in Seward, which is often expensive and hard to find. Under Ms. Jagielski’s leadership, Providence Seward Medical Center can now better meet the community’s needs as its tourism industry and the U.S. Coast Guard’s presence continue to grow.
