This fund provides support to the Alaska Native Medical Center’s (ANMC’s) Pediatric Unit which includes Pediatrics, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The funds raised are used for basic, critical needs and to help fund efforts that make hospitalization less stressful for children and more comfortable for families so they can stay with their children, some of whom are fighting serious illnesses and may be hospitalized for extended periods of time before they can return to their home villages.

Every year, ANMC Pediatrics cares for more than 1,500 children from all regions of Alaska.
