In 2025, APCA reported grants to Alaska organizations including health centers and other community organizations. Among those grantees, Southcentral Foundation says its objective is to improve conditions for Alaska Natives through health services; Norton Sound Health Corporation says it provides health services and promotes wellness; and Girdwood Health Clinic says it provides integrated primary and behavioral healthcare while removing barriers to wellness. These are the grantees’ descriptions of their own missions.
