Public transit isn’t just about getting around—it’s about access to care.

As highlighted in this recent Anchorage Daily News story, Anchorage is considering new transit options that could better connect communities, including a proposed cross-town route serving Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center.

Right now, many of our patients face long walks just to reach the nearest bus stop. That distance can be the difference between getting care and delaying it.

🚌 Help shape the future of transit in Anchorage. Take the survey and make your voice heard. Read more below.

A public survey is asking residents to consider “express” routes, service to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and “microtransit zones.”

Last week, Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center joined fellow community health center leaders in Juneau for the Alaska Primary Care Association Legislative Fly-In (Feb. 25–26).

We participated in roundtable discussions with Alaska Department of Health Commissioner Hedberg, Deputy Commissioner Ricci, and Lori Wing-Heier, Legislative Healthcare Liaison to the House Majority, to advocate for:

✔ Accurate Medicaid payment for community health centers
✔ Strong workforce recruitment and training pathways in Alaska
✔ Protection of the 340B program to keep medications affordable
✔ Policies that protect patient access to care

As a Federally Qualified Health Center serving 1 in 6 Alaskans, advocacy is part of our mission. Strong policy means stronger access to care for our community. We’re grateful for the opportunity to collaborate on solutions that support patients across Alaska.

Transportation access = Healthcare access 🚌🏥 Did you know that transportation is one of the most common barriers to healthcare? The Transit on the Move final survey is now open, and three proposed route options could increase access to ANHC—including a potential new Cross Town Route that may include a stop near our clinic.

You do not need to be a current transit rider to participate. No written comments required—simply select and rank your top priorities.

Participation is voluntary. Community input helps shape future transit decisions. 💙

We were proud to represent Anchorage in Washington, D.C., alongside fellow Alaska Community Health Centers. CHCs like ANHC serve thousands of Alaskans each year—expanding access, training the next generation of healthcare workers, and ensuring care is available close to home. When we advocate in D.C., we’re advocating for our patients and our community. Thank you to Alaska Primary Care Association and Alaska’s delegation for the continued partnership.

During Patient Recognition Week last week, we spent time thanking patients for trusting us with their care. In return, many shared why ANHC matters to them—speaking to access, continuity, affordability, and feeling respected.

We’re grateful to be part of this community, and to our staff who make these moments possible every day. Thank you both for being part of ANHC. 💙

Patient care doesn’t happen in just one room—it happens at every touchpoint. During Patient Recognition Week, we’re honored to share feedback from patients who’ve experienced care across our medical, dental, pharmacy, nutrition, and care teams. These testimonials remind us that kindness, respect, and clear communication matter just as much as clinical expertise. We’re grateful for our patients today and every day. 💙

02/05/2026

As Patient Recognition Week continues, we’re sharing more reflections from our staff about the patients who inspire them every day. Thank you to our patients for showing up, even when it’s hard, and for allowing us to be part of your care. 💙
