🙌 The strength of the collective voice of Alaska Tribes advocating together has led to the momentous step of the federal government transferring ownership of the Alaska Native Medical Center to Alaska Tribes. 💪

Thank you to Wilson Justin for your many years of advocacy, leadership, and dedication to the rights of Alaska Native and Indigenous people across the country!

This achievement will have a lasting impact, benefiting future generations and the entire Alaska Tribal Health System!

We're excited to share that Alaska Tribes, through the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, now own the Alaska Native Medical Center!

When Tribes took over delivery of their healthcare from the federal government in the 1990s, ANMC, the hospital at the center of the Alaska Tribal Health System, remained federally owned. Until now.

Thanks to a generation of advocacy, our federal partners have acted. This change is more than symbolic: it ensures that Tribes will always determine the future of this crucial facility.
