KCI’s COVID-19 Resource Page

Based on the latest guidance from the Municipality and the federal government regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, all KCI centers are closed through May 31st. We will continue to provide services on-line during this closure. Additional closures after this date are possible. We will continue to use the latest information from the CDC and the Municipal health department to evaluate the situation in the weeks ahead. Please follow our Facebook Page for regular updates. We will provide more information as it comes in and decisions are made. It is our goal to continue in our mission and provide resources to help during this time as adjustments are made. 

If you need immediate assistance please call our administrative office at 907.279.2021.

Thank you.
