Neeser Construction builds patient housing for Alaska hospital.

For many rural Alaskans, one of the most significant hurdles to accessing quality health care services is distance. The Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC) is constantly working to increase access to health care services for its patients.
Located in Anchorage, the state’s largest city, the hospital is part of the Alaska Tribal Health System, a network of facilities that provides services to Alaska Native and American Indian people throughout the state. More than 60 percent of patients receiving care at ANMC travel to Anchorage from remote communities.
