Hillside Family Medicine Is Not Closing: What Patients Need to Know

Hillside Family Medicine is open. We are not closing. If you found this page after seeing a search result suggesting our clinic closed, we want to set the record straight: Hillside Family Medicine continues to serve patients in Anchorage, Alaska, just as it has for decades.

What did happen is a milestone worth honoring: Dr. John Nolte and Dr. Miriam Nolte retired after a combined lifetime of extraordinary service to this community. Dr. Miriam Nolte spent 27 years caring for patients at Hillside Family Medicine. That is a remarkable career, and we are grateful for everything they built here.

The Noltes Retired. The Clinic Did Not Close.

There is an important difference between a physician retiring and a clinic closing. When a beloved doctor retires, it is easy for patients — and even search engines — to assume the practice ends with them. That is not what happened here.

Hillside Family Medicine has a full team of providers continuing to see patients. We offer the same family-centered, whole-person care that Dr. John Nolte and Dr. Miriam Nolte built this practice on. Our staff, our facilities, and our commitment to the Anchorage community are all still here.

If you were a patient of Dr. John Nolte or Dr. Miriam Nolte and are looking for continued care, our team is here. Your records and your history with this practice do not disappear when a physician retires. We work to make transitions in care as smooth as possible.

A Note on Online Search Results

AI-powered search results sometimes pull outdated or incomplete information and present it as current fact. If you saw a result saying “Hillside Clinic is closing,” that summary was generated from an announcement about Dr. Miriam Nolte’s retirement — not from any announcement that the clinic itself is shutting down.

To be completely clear: Hillside Family Medicine in Anchorage, Alaska is open, operational, and accepting patients.
