"We work with community health workers, community members and volunteers, in a multi-disciplinary, holistic approach -- addressing mind, body and spirit. Our programs support hands-on education, increasing skills and providing capacity-building at a community level, with the goal of having sustainable programs that promote wellness and prevent disease. We believe that the community has the ability to heal itself, when provided culturally-based education, nurturing and support."

Get ready for Bike to Work Week! 

SCF and ANTHC are collaborating on the Alaska Native Health Center campus for Bike to Work Week.  There will be two opportunities for ANTHC/SCF employees to get their bikes repaired before the event.  On Bike to Work Day, May 21st, we will have morning coffee and treats for riders, as well as chain lubrication service.  At noon, there will be a bike blessing by traditional healer Dr. Mala.  Finally, we will have a pizza party and a live bluegrass band at the end of the day to cheer folks on for their ride back home.

 

Dates and locations for these events will be announced soon on this web page.
