As an acute, specialty, primary and behavioral health care provider, the Alaska Native Medical Center provides comprehensive medical services to Alaska Native and American Indian people living in the state. The center includes a 150-bed hospital, as well as a full range of medical specialties, primary care services and labs. The hospital also works in close partnership with Alaska’s rural health facilities to support a broad range of health care and related services. As a statewide referral center, ANMC operates the Quyana House, a 56-room, 108-bed facility for out-of-town patients and their escorts. The Quyana House provides housing, travel services and Medicaid authorizations.
MISSION: The Alaska Native Medical Center shall fulfill the mission and vision
of the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium and Southcentral Foundation by
working together with the Native community to achieve wellness by providing the
highest quality health services for all Alaska Natives.
HISTORY: In the 1940s, the U.S. Indian Health Service began providing health care
for Alaska Native people. By 1998, ANMC’s transition to Alaska Native ownership
was completed with its transfer to ANTHC and SCF. Today, ANMC has become
a world leader in health care where advanced technology meets human caring.
ANMC is also a gathering place where longtime friends celebrate life events, learn
ways to maintain wellness and simply visit one another.
