The Yukon Kuskokwim Health Corporation (YKHC) is a private non-profit Tribal Consortium. Authorized by the resolution of the traditional Indian Reorganization Act (IRA), Yukon Kuskokwim Health Corporation (YKHC) provides health care services to the 22,000 people living in the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta under Title III of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Act.

With 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."
