Highest Quality Health Services
As an acute, specialty, primary and behavioral healthcare provider, Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC) provides comprehensive medical services to Alaska Native and American Indian people living within the state. The Center includes a 150-bed hospital, a full-range of medical specialties, primary care services, labs and covered parking.

The hospital also works in close partnership with rural health facilities statewide to support a broad range of health care and related services. As a statewide referral center, ANMC provides the Quyana House for patients and their escorts from surrounding areas, a 56-room, 108-bed facility. The Quyana House provides housing, travel services and Medicaid authorizations.

Together the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium and Southcentral Foundation jointly own and manage ANMC.  These parent organizations have established a Joint Operating Board to ensure unified operation of health services provided by the Medical Center.
