| Donate | Area of Greatest Need Donations to the Healthy Alaska Natives Foundation’s Fund for Area of Greatest Need are unrestricted so that we can quickly respond to unexpected challenges in any program within the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, including programs at our flagship tertiary care institution, the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage. There are a number of health risks and conditions that impact Alaska Native people at rates much higher than other American ethnic groups, including diabetes, cancer, alcoholism, obesity and suicide. Our goal is for Alaska Native people to be the healthiest people in the world. Your donation will help us get closer to achieving that goal. |
