Spring is the perfect time to reset your health goals and enjoy all that Alaska has to offer. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a hike on a local trail, or just taking a moment to breathe in the fresh air, getting outside can boost both physical and mental health. Longer days and brighter skies make it easier to move more, stress less, and soak up a little extra sunshine. Let’s make this season one for healthy habits and time spent outdoors! #SpringWellness #GetOutside #HealthyLiving #AlaskaSpring

Community Health Workers play an important role in connecting patients to care and supportive services. They help people access doctors, clinics, housing, and public assistance programs, improving health outcomes and reducing gaps in care. As trusted members of the community, CHWs build relationships, attend events, and manage outreach - helping your organization reach more people and provide better care. Investing in CHWs means stronger patient engagement, improved health outcomes, and a healthier community.

Our meetings focused on key priorities such as FQHC payment reform, workforce development, and improving patient access. Attendees met with legislators, shared key insights, and strengthened partnerships to support a more resilient healthcare system for all Alaskans.
