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.

The city of Bethel with approximately 6,000 inhabitants sits on the banks of the Kuskokwim river. As the hub of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Bethel serves as the center for transportation and culture. The 58 surrounding villages represent a predominantly Yupik Eskimo culture that still relies heavily on their hunter-gatherer traditions. The sprawling 19 million acre Yukon Delta National Wilderness refuge provides ample opportunity to enjoy nature’s beauty.
