Health Insurance Company, Premera Blue Shield has pledged a $5.7 million grant to increase healthcare in rural areas of Alaska. As of July 2019, Alaska has fourteen critical access hospitals<\/a>, thirty two federally qualified health centers located outside of urbanized areas, and just four short-term hospitals outside of urbanized areas. As of that same time, Alaska boasts zero rural health centers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These grants could change the way that rural healthcare operates in Alaska. The funds from Primera will be split between two entities: Alaska Native Tribe Consortium<\/a> (ANTC), and the University of Alaska Anchorage<\/a>\u2019s grantmaking fund administered by the Rathmusen Foundation, in partnership with the Alaska Community Foundation<\/a>.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This grantmaking fund which is known as the Rural Health Care Fund will receive the largest portion of the money, in the amount of $3 million dollars. Then, grants will be awarded to various rural outpatient clinics, community health centers, and hospitals in amounts ranging from $25,000-$100,000 to make small capital improvements and well as to upgrade medical equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University of Alaska Anchorage will receive $1.77 million, which will be used to expand their nursing program, the money will be used more specifically to expand an existing program focused on native recruitment into nursing known as: \u201cRecruitment and Retention of Alaska Natives into Nursing<\/a>\u201d which will focus on recruitment from rural Alaska. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

University of Alaska Anchorage Chancellor, Cathy Sandeen, had a lot to say about UAA receiving this grant funding from Primera: \u201cBy increasing the number of nursing students from rural Alaska communities<\/a>, the university helps meet a demand for medical professionals who understand the unique health care needs of rural Alaska and have a desire to return home to their communities to practice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the funding going to the previously mentioned programs, $700,000 will be going to the Alaska Native Tribal Consortium to build an Education and Development Center to train health professionals in a variety of fields. President and Chairman of ANTC Andy Teuber says that these funds will enable the consortium\u2019s people to receive training in a variety of fields that will benefit the community overall: \u201cBecoming behavioral, community and dental health aides. Each program offers Alaska Native centered learning, dedicated to expanding culturally appropriate health care at the village level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alaska happens to have the highest cost of healthcare<\/a> in the entire country, part of which has to do with a lack of qualified medical professionals in the state. Because Alaska has to offer out-of-state medical staff incentives to bring them to the state, this increases the costs passed off to the consumer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
