If you are 40 and older, it’s time to take the plunge! 💧 🦆💧

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Colon cancer is a leading type of cancer among Alaska Native people, but it is also one of the most preventable when found early. Alaska Native people should be checked for colon cancer starting at age 40, or earlier if you have a family history of the disease. Screening at ages 45 and over is recommended for all adults.

Steps to schedule colon cancer screening at ANMC:

1. Make an appointment with your primary care provider for colon cancer screening.

2. When you see your primary care provider, ask for a referral to the ANMC Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Screening Clinic and request a colonoscopy.

3. Your provider will set up the referral.

4. The CRC Screening Clinic will contact you to schedule your appointment.

Alternatively, you can call our CRC Screening Clinic for assistance at 907-729-4444. The clinic will work with you and your provider to schedule the appropriate referral.

Did you catch our Regional ANTHC Liaisons for YKHC at the Tribal Unity Gathering in Bethel last week?

As locally hired members within Tribal health regions, our liaisons collaborate with patients and Tribal health partners to strengthen care between their region and the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage.

Hosted by the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation (YKHC), the Tribal Unity Gathering offered our liaisons, Olinka and Nastasia, a space to connect with community members, distribute the ANTHC annual report, and provide important resources (and swag!).

We’re so grateful to Olinka and Nastasia for their teamwork in celebrating wellness, tradition, and unity, and look forward to continuing this journey together.

If you’ve ever had a meal at the Alaska Native Medical Center hospital, you have Nichole Thoms and the kitchen staff to thank👩‍🍳

As the ANMC Kitchen Manager, she is responsible for all of the daily operations of the hospital’s food service, including managing food inventory, working with dietitians on specialized patient diets, and ensuring regulatory compliance, among other roles. But her favorite job is planning and coordinating Traditional Tuesdays — an initiative that promotes the healing of the whole person through the comfort of healthy and nutrient-dense cultural foods. 🫎🐟🦌 🫐🦭🌿

“It is a profound honor to prepare traditional foods from our land for the Alaska Native community. In doing so, I feel deeply connected to my ancestors and the generations who came before us,” said Nichole, who is Yup’ik and a part of the Knik Tribe. “Their legacy continues through these practices.” 🤲

❤️ Happy American Heart Month❤️

February has been designated as a month to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease — the leading cause of death in the U.S.

The good news? Small changes, like limiting the amount of alcohol you drink, can make a big difference in your heart health!

Heavier alcohol consumption, such as binge drinking or consuming on average more than 3 drinks a day, increases your risk for high blood pressure, stroke, coronary artery disease, sudden death, and possibly heart failure!
