About

Southcentral Foundation (SCF) is an Alaska Native–owned nonprofit health care organization based in Anchorage, Alaska. Founded in 1982 under the Tribal authority of Cook Inlet Region, Inc. (CIRI), SCF provides comprehensive medical and behavioral health services to Alaska Native and American Indian people in Anchorage, the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, and nearby communities, serving a regional footprint of about 107,413 square miles. Key points relevant to Dental Services: - SCF operates as a integrated health system that includes primary medical care and behavioral health, with a strong emphasis on relationship-based, team-based, and population-health approaches. - In addition to primary care, SCF has a history of health system innovations (e.g., Nuka System of Care) aimed at improving care coordination and outcomes, which typically encompass dental and oral health as part of holistic care. - As of 1998–1999, SCF took ownership and joint management of the Alaska Native Medical Center primary care program, highlighting its role in coordinating broad health services for Alaska Native communities.
