I'm sure the company/clinic has advised you on everything you need to bring. I have a good friend who has had to move to the Dallas/Ft Worth area for medical treatment that wasn't available in Alaska. He lived there over 25 years and has such wonderful stories. One of my favorite ones was his shooting a grizzly on his front porch trying to crawl through a window into his living room. He said the bear tasted wonderful as it had been feeding mostly on berries.
After a few years his wife divorced him so she could move to the lower states. I guess not everyone likes Alaska.
After talking to him I would suggest you take a gun sufficient to kill a bear with, not just one for birds, although a town of 700 people ought to have someone else to take care of large animals in town - but I would personally want
to have my own and lots of ammo. And when you leave you can probably sell it if you want to.
