°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app (°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app) is a tribally owned and operated, independent, not-for profit health care organization, founded in 1970 to meet the health care needs of the Inupiat, Siberian Yup’ik and Yu’pik people of the Bering Strait region. °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app is governed by a 22-member board of directors that represents all communities and areas of the Bering Strait region, a 44,000 square-mile section of northwestern Alaska.
°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app puts the patient first. This principle applies equally at the new Norton Sound Regional Hospital and at the 15 village clinics managed by °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app.
Every day, °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app’s approximately 700 employees – about 72% of them Alaska Native – demonstrate their commitment to our mission: providing quality health services and promoting wellness within our people and environment.
°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app is a model of how Indian Self-Determination is meant to work, with tribes taking responsibility for their own health and well-being.
