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 Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation has earned the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval.
Nirsivimab is an injection for infants under 8 months and Alaska Native infants under 20 months that provides direct antibodies which fight respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections.
A recent study at YKHC showed that over 80% of babies who received the shot had a significant reduction in illness from RSV and over 90% effective in preventing hospitalization due to severe RSV.
Call your local health clinic to schedule your appointment today, or in Bethel, call 907-543-6442.
