Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) is a non-profit health organization based in Anchorage, Alaska which provides health services to about 130,000 Alaska Natives and American Indians in Alaska. Established in 1997, ANTHC is owned and managed by Alaska Native tribal governments and their regional health organizations.
ANTHC is co-manager, with the Southcentral Foundation, of the Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC), a 150-bed facility in Anchorage with a staff including over 250 physicians and 700 nurses. ANMC is Alaska's only Level II Trauma Center as well as the state's only Magnet Hospital, and the only tribally-operated hospital with Magnet Status in the United States. ANMC opened in its current facility in May 1997.
ANTHC is part of the Alaska Tribal Health System and is one of 22 co-signers of the Alaska Tribal Health Compact, a self-governance agreement with the Indian Health Service.
