Our Work

Health Care Improvements
Cancer, heart disease, unintentional injuries, suicide, and stroke are the leading causes of death for Alaska Native people.

Wellness and Prevention
To keep Alaska Natives healthy in body, mind and spirit, and to avert the high costs of hospital-based care, HANF supports healthy communities through education, program development and promotion of health-conscious lifestyles.

Healthy Village Environments
Hepatitis A, bronchitis, impetigo and meningitis are widespread in rural Alaska, where many villages remain without clean water and sanitation.
