Event registration will open Friday, Jan. 3, 2025 and close Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025.

The theme of this years’ gathering in “On our River Towards Excellence,” which recognizes our progress in moving the organization closer to our mission of Working Together to Achieve Excellent Health.

At the annual Tribal Gathering, YKHC offers updates and answers questions about health services and then seeks the input of its tribal delegates on health priorities for the upcoming year.

YKHC hosts two tribal delegates from each tribe to travel, arranging their travel to Bethel for this event. All tribes in the YKHC service area are encourages to send delegates to represent their tribe at the important event.

Because of the advance time needed to arrange travel and lodging, there are no additions or changes for delegates after Feb. 7. If you have questions about your registration, please contact us at publicrelations@ykhc.org or call 907-543-6038.
