About Us

Inspiring good health through quality, accessible medical care, improving environmental health conditions and developing community health programs for Alaska Native people in our communities and villages statewide – these are the goals of the Healthy Alaska Natives Foundation.

The Healthy Alaska Natives Foundation is an agent for change. It was established in 2007 to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the creation of the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC).

We prioritize and focus on the greatest health challenges Alaska Native individuals face, including:

  • Improvement of Medical Care
  • Wellness & Prevention
  • Healthy Village Environments

Working collaboratively toward a common vision, we can improve lives and inspire good health.
