Impact Story

Healthy Kids fund provides comfort for our youngest patients

Sometimes, it can be the smallest acts of kindness that mean the most. Take four-year old Caius Ludwig whose face lit up when Theresa Philbrick, a nurse in Alaska Native Medical Center’s Day Surgery department, handed him a stuffed toy moose. A small gesture can make a big impact in the recovery of our youngest patients. Just like that, all his fears and anxiety were gone. Theresa says the soft, huggable toys are the best non-prescription medicine care providers have to offer. The impact of the Lori Lange Memorial Toy Fund is immediate.

Healthy Patients

Healthy Patients

When you donate to support Healthy Patients you are doing far more than giving money. You are offering comfort to a person going through surgery, helping children get the medicine they need, strengthening cancer care at the Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC), improving the quality of healthcare for Alaskans, helping children deal with the loss of a loved one, providing education to doctors and helping parents fly with their children who are traveling far from home for treatment.
