Skilled Nursing Facility Update

Construction is advancing on an 80 bed skilled nursing facility in Anchorage tied to the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC), with a planned opening in summer 2026. The building is over 90,000 square feet and is now entering major structural phases including steel and exterior work.

The facility is designed to fill a long standing gap in long term and post acute care in Anchorage. Right now, patients often remain in hospitals longer than needed or are sent out of state for the kind of care this facility will provide.

The design incorporates Alaska Native culture and values, reflecting its connection to ANTHC. Beyond the physical space, the project is meant to address a persistent shortage of skilled nursing capacity in the region.

For families, the facility means more care options close to home instead of distant transfers. For hospitals, it frees up beds and reduces backup across the system. For the local workforce, it adds long term healthcare jobs in Anchorage.
