My YKHealth

Ciuniurumauten. Welcome.​​

The Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation, commonly referred to as YKHC, is a Tribal Organization that administers a comprehensive healthcare delivery system for 58 rural communities in southwest Alaska.

Each of the communities in our service area is home to a federally-recognized Tribe, whose governing council has authorized YKHC to provide health services on behalf of the federal Indian Health Service (IHS).

YKHC’s healthcare delivery system includes community clinics, sub-regional clinics in five of the area’s larger communities, a regional hospital, dental and optometry services, behavioral health services, counseling and treatment for individuals with substance use disorders, health promotion and disease prevention programs, and environmental health services.

Gold Seal Certified

The Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation has earned the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval.​

YKHC would like to thank delegates from the 58 tribes in the YK region who attended the 28th annual Tribal Gathering in early March!
The event is crucial to our healthcare organization, as the feedback from delegates is used to develop strategic goals for the coming year.
During the two-day event, attendees heard reports from senior leadership about the progress from the previous year. They then identified areas of need and improvement, which become key areas of focus and priorities for our future.Image attachmentImage attachment+4Image attachment
