Igiugig Village Clinic

Located in the southwestern region of Alaska, Igiugig Village is a small community with a population of 68 as of the 2020 census. Situated on the south bank of the Kvichak River and Lake Iliamna, the village is known for its breathtaking natural surroundings and rich cultural heritage. The name "Igiugig" derives from the Yup'ik language, meaning "Like a throat that swallows water," which perfectly captures its location at the mouth of Lake Iliamna where it feeds into the Kvichak River. The area is renowned for its exceptional sportfishing, with July witnessing remarkable runs of sockeye salmon and August and September being prime times for fishing in the designated Trophy Rainbow Trout area. The village's commitment to clean energy and sustainability, exemplified by its use of hydrokinetic power in the Kvichak River, has earned it a reputation as Alaska's cleanest rural village. With its strong educational values, respect for elders, and abundant opportunities for subsistence fishing and hunting, tourism, and travel, Igiugig Village offers a unique and enriching experience for visitors.
