Description
The Yukon Kuskokwim Health Corporation (YKHC) is a private non-profit Tribal Consortium. Yukon Kuskokwim Health Corporation (YKHC) provides health care services to the 22,000 people living in the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta.
Yukon Kuskokwim Health Corporation has over 1000 employees and growing, YKHC reaches out, providing services to the communities where the recipients of these services live. YKHC currently serves 56 western Alaska villages in an area the size of Oregon. Located in Bethel, AK is YKHC’s main facility, the Yukon - Kuskokwim Delta Regional Hospital. The 50-bed, 24-hour-a-day, seven-days-a-week Acute Care Facility has a Clinical Laboratory and a certified Burn Center. YKHC also supports a sub-regional Clinic staffed by PA's and Nurse Practitioners. Two more such Clinics are planned to be opened in the near future.
Keeping up with the ever-changing health care needs of the people it serves, Yukon - Kuskokwim Delta Regional Hospital became as of January 14, 2003 Alaska’s second Level IV Trauma Center, meeting the criteria set forth by the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services. The Level IV Facility provides initial evaluation and assessment of injured patients, resuscitation and stabilization, and prepares the seriously injured patient for transfer to a referral Hospital. Unintentional injuries are a major cause of death and disability in rural Alaska,” Karen Pearson, DHSS Director of Public Health said. “YKHC's investment in their Trauma Center has the potential to significantly improve the outcome for the injured people they serve."

About Bethel Alaska:
Bethel, AK first established by Yupik Eskimos is one of the largest communities in western Alaska. Located on the Kuskokwim River in Southwest Alaska, 400 miles west of Anchorage and 90 miles inland from the Bering Sea, Bethels current populations of 6000 people are mainly made up of Eskimos, Italians, Caucasians, Koreans, Mexican and African Americans. Excluding Bethel, 94% of the population on the Y-K Delta is Native Alaskan. Bethel is the regional center for 56 villages in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. Food, fuel, transportation, medical care and other services for the region are provided by Bethel. 50% of the jobs in Bethel are in government positions. Commercial fishing, primarily for salmon and herring is an important source of income. The 20- million-acre Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, the largest wildlife refuge in the nation, covers most of the region and offers a wide range of recreational opportunities, from world-class sport fishing to cross-country skiing, snow-mobiling and dog-sledding.
The State-owned Bethel Airport is the regional transportation center. Two major passenger airlines, two cargo carriers, and numerous air taxi services, make the airport rank third in the state for total number of flights. Two float plane bases are nearby, Hangar Lake and H Marker Lake. The Port of Bethel is the northern-most medium-draft port in the U.S. A small boat harbor, dry land storage, and up to 5,000 feet of transient moorage on the seawall is available. River travel is the primary means of local transportation in the summer, and it becomes a 150-mile ice road to surrounding villages in the winter. A barge service based in Bethel provides goods to the Kuskokwim villages. There are 16 miles of local roads. Winter trails are marked to Napakiak (1.1 mi.) and Akiachak (19 mi.)
Bethel is home to the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation serving the 56 villages in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta.
