Southcentral Foundation (SCF) is an Alaska Native health care organization established by Cook Inlet Region, Inc. (CIRI) in 1982. Its objective is to improve the health and social conditions of Alaska Native and American Indian people. This is accomplished by enhancing culture, and empowering individuals and families to take charge of their lives. Alaska Native and American Indian people own, manage, direct, design, and drive the Foundation [citation needed].
Under the leadership of former President and CEO Katherine Gottlieb, Southcentral Foundation grew to become one of Alaska’s largest federally-recognized tribal health organizations, serving a geographical area of 107,413 square miles (278,200 km2). A wide range of medical services and human services are provided to Alaska Native and American Indian people living in the Municipality of Anchorage and Matanuska-Susitna Borough.
In 1998, SCF assumed ownership and management of the primary care program of the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage, Alaska, United States, and in January 1999, began jointly managing and operating ANMC, along with the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium. With this transition, Alaska became the first state to have all health facilities for Native Americans be managed by Native organizations [citation needed].
SCF's Nuka System of Care was established in the late 1990s, and serves a population of around 65,000 people. It combines integrated health and social services with a broader approach to improving family and community wellbeing across the population, in line with Indigenous traditions. Initiatives include education, training and community engagement to tackle domestic violence, abuse and neglect. SCF's Nuka System of Care has achieved reductions in hospital activity, high performance in the US healthcare effectiveness data and high levels of user satisfaction.[1]
