The Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC)

Anchorage, Alaska, United States of America

In the 1940s, the U.S. Indian Health Service began providing health care for Alaska Native people. In November 1953, the 400-bed Anchorage Medical Center of the Alaska Native Service opened in Anchorage. The facility was built to care for Alaska Native people suffering from tuberculosis, a huge epidemic in rural Alaska at the time.

The Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC) provides comprehensive inpatient and outpatient medical care to Alaska Native and American Indian people.

ANMC is jointly owned and managed by the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) and Southcentral Foundation (SCF), and includes both the hospital and the Anchorage Native Primary Care Center.
