ABOUT THE FACILITY

This facility is a tribally owned and operated, independent, nonprofit healthcare organization, founded in 1970 to meet the health care needs of the Inupiat, Siberian Yup’ik and Yup’ik people of the Bering Strait region. NSHC is governed by a 21-member board of directors that represents all communities and areas of the Bering Strait region, a 23,000 square-mile section of northwestern Alaska.

This facility puts the patient first. This principle applies equally at the new Norton Sound Regional Hospital and at the 15 village clinics managed by NSHC.

Every day, NSHC’s approximately 700 employees demonstrate their commitment to our mission: providing quality health services and promoting wellness within our people and environment.

We are a model of how Indian Self-Determination is meant to work, with tribes taking responsibility for their own health and well-being.
