Dr Richard Wein
My name is Richard Wein. I am a surgeon by trade?board certified and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. I have held multiple positions of responsibility during my career from Chief of Staff for 525 physicians to multiple Board of Trustee memberships. Providing surgical care for almost ten years at SEARHC and more than six years at Sitka Community Hospital, I have served our community and Southeast faithfully and I hope well?literally 7/24. For much of the time, I found myself as sole surgical provider for all of Sitka.

 I earned my Bachelors and Masters degrees from Columbia University in New York. My Masters degree was in journalism. I was awarded a doctorate of medicine from Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston.

Currently as an Assemblyman, I continue to serve Sitka.
