Healthy Alaska Native People

 

The Alaska Tribal Health System (ATHS) is a statewide voluntary affiliation of more than 30 tribal organizations providing health services to Alaska Natives/American Indians.  The entire ATHS serves approximately 130,000 Alaska Natives and provides comprehensive services across the entire continuum of care. 

This website is meant to provide a platform for discussion, coordination, systems development, implementation, evaluation, advocacy, resource and infrastructure development and alignment toward the ATHS vision "Healthy Alaska Native People". 

Several committees/functions provide guidance and serve as a means for system participants to provide input and discussion.  It is essential that the outcomes and progress be shared with the broader “system”.
