Norton Sound Health Corporation is committed to providing quality health services and promoting healthy choices within our communities.
It is a pleasure to welcome you to the Norton Sound Health Corporation Web
site. NSHC is a Tribally owned and operated, independent, not-for profit organization,
founded in 1970. We have a 24-member board of directors who represent all communities
and areas of the Bering Strait region, a 44,000 square-mile section of northwestern
Alaska.
Our current Strategic Health Plan focuses on patient satisfaction, village clinic services, staff development, new clinic construction, and overall organizational development. Our 2009 annual budget is over $60 million, which allows NSHC to provide a wide variety of health services with our almost 500 employees, 72% of whom are Native.
NSHC is quickening the pace of positive change by refocusing our system to put our patients, clients, and communities first in everything we do. We have embarked on major building and renovation programs, yet our improvements do not focus only on adding facilities and expanding programs. We are placing clear, primary emphasis on external and internal customer service throughout the region.
The NSHC mission is to "Provide quality health services and promote healthy choices within our communities." Clearly, we are a corporation dedicated to providing excellent patient and client services as we move toward our vision of becoming Alaska's preferred rural health system!
