Alaska hospital leader hopeful about virus hospitalizations

The leader of Alaska’s hospital association cited a recent decline in hospitalizations related to COVID-19 as a possible turning point following a prolonged period in which resources at health care facilities in the state were stretched thin. "We’re feeling like the situation (in hospitals) is becoming manageable in a way that it hasn’t been in a long time," Jared Kosin, president and CEO of the Alaska State Hospital and Nursing Home Association, told the Anchorage Daily News.
