YKHC is proud to share that we now offer Traditional Healing as part of the therapy services at the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Regional Hospital.
What does a traditional healer do?
Traditional healers help patients with ailments by providing hand-on manipulations and joint adjustments of various parts of the body, including the neck, shoulders, thighs, knees, feet, torso, back, and gluteal muscles.
Patients can also expect to receive education on performing stretches of tight muscles, advice on herbal/natural remedies and culturally sensitive support counseling.
How can patients access this service?
There is no referral necessary. Call 907-543-6342 to schedule an appointment.
*Medicaid does not cover travel to Bethel for an appointment for traditional healing services. If you live in the village and want to travel to Bethel for this service, travel will be at your own expense. However, if you happen to be at the hospital for another appointment, you can schedule a traditional healing appointment for that same day.
