Dr. Thomas Bodenheimer

On October 23rd-24th, Southcentral Foundation is hosting its first-ever health conference in Oregon, the Nuka Health Care Innovations Conference.

London Skyline

Southcentral Foundation is offering masterclasses in London on October 5th. These masterclasses will offer participants insight into SCF’s world-renowned Nuka System of Care, which has improved health outcomes for SCF patients (who are called “customer-owners” at SCF) while also reducing costs.

Traditional healing history, elder and boy

Southcentral Foundation Board Member Sophia Chase was one of the major advocates for SCF to establish a traditional healing clinic. There has also been a consistent, huge demand from customer-owners for these services.

Group of people in Core Concepts, Nuka trainings outside of Alaska

Southcentral Foundation has several upcoming Nuka trainings outside of Alaska, which provide an opportunity to learn about SCF’s Malcolm Baldrige Award-winning Nuka System of Care for people who may have previously been unable to do so due to the time or expense involved in traveling to Alaska.

Webinar

As part of our whole system transformation, Southcentral Foundation has customized and implemented an onboarding process that has several goals. The onboarding process is aimed at supporting SCF’s mission and vision, increasing employee retention and satisfaction, and promoting career development throughout the workforce.

providing high quality care in remote locations

Providing health care in rural areas can be quite challenging. Depending on the location, accessibility, high cost of living, harsh weather conditions, and/or lack of infrastructure are all factors that can make it much more difficult to provide needed health care services to people in those areas.

Customer-Owner

Southcentral Foundation is continually striving to realize its vision and execute its mission, and is assisted in this by several elements of its corporate structure. One of these is SCF’s Operational Principles.

Emotional and Spiritual Aspects of Care

Southcentral Foundation’s vision is a Native Community that enjoys physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness. SCF works with customer-owners to ensure that all of those aspects of wellness are achieved.

Anchorage Native Primary Care Center

Southcentral Foundation’s facilities are designed to be beautiful and to reflect Alaska Native culture, with spaces for the display of Alaska Native art. SCF’s facility design also promotes focus on relationships, not only with customer-owners, but also between employees.

Nuka Conference 2017

Southcentral Foundation’s 7th Annual Nuka System of Care Conference begins today! The conference begins with the pre-conference Core Concepts session, which will run from Monday through Wednesday, followed by the general conference on Thursday and Friday.
