About the Section
The Mission of Women’s, Children’s and Family Health is to promote optimum health outcomes for all Alaskans by:
- providing leadership;
- coordinating with the primary and public entities within the health care system;
- delivering preventive, rehabilitative and educational services targeting women, children, and families.
The programs in this section stress improving the health status of and assuring health service access for present and future generations of Alaskan women of all ages and their families including pregnant women and their infants, children and adolescents, with a particular focus on children with special health conditions, those with low income status and those with limited access to health services
The goal of our section is to work with other health care and community support services to assure they are organized in ways that allow for flexibility to address the changing and varied needs of families and support time in their natural care-giving roles.
