ALASKAN NATIVE TRIBAL HEALTH CONSORTIUM (ANTHC)
The ANTHC is a non-profit health organization intended for Alaskan tribes that aims to help in providing health services, prevention for injury and diseases, health promotion, and construction of rural water and sewage. Their vision focuses on the idea of Alaskan Native people being the healthiest people globally. This health organization is responsible for the statewide management of Alaskan tribe health services in meeting their unique health needs. This organization provides services to both Alaska Native and American Indian people who experience significant health disparities among the American population. To provide world-class health services, ANTHC partnered with various Tribal health organizations listed under the Alaskan Tribal Health System. Health services provided include wellness programs, access to medical services comprehensively at the Alaska Native Medical Center, disease prevention as well as research, and providing training to rural areas and constructing water and sanitation systems (anthc.org, n.d.).

Knowing the health disparities, the vision of this organization also serves as their guiding principle.

To lead the strategic plan, this organization is equipped with tools needed for mental, physical, and community health to promote awareness and implement programs and policies for this group. Furthermore, their mission mainly focuses on giving health services of high quality while partnering with the people as well as the whole Alaska Tribal Health System. This organization can effectively lead strategic planning, as illustrated in its vision and mission.
