Physician Opportunities

Join the Southcentral Foundation Team

Southcentral Foundation is an Alaska Native-owned, nonprofit healthcare organization that offers a wide range of health and wellness services to nearly 70,000 Alaska Native and American Indian peoples living in Anchorage and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, and villages.

At SCF, physicians practice within the highly integrated Nuka System of Care, where primary care and specialty services are seamlessly connected to support relationship-based, whole-person wellness. Integrated care teams partner closely with customer-owners and include providers, behavioral health consultants, health educators, medical subspecialists, and other support employees who collaborate through shared systems and co-located teams to deliver coordinated, whole-person care. Collaborative, high-functioning teams reduce fragmentation while fostering continuity of care, innovation, and exceptional outcomes for customer-owners.

What is Customer-Ownership?

Through self-determination and the historic transfer of ownership of healthcare from the Indian Health Service, Alaska Native peoples who had been receiving care, moved into the driver’s seat by assuming ownership and designing their own healthcare system.

With this transformation, the paradigm shifted from the professionals know best to customers know best, customer-owners are expected to be involved in decision making processes and have an active role in their healthcare journey.

Decisions and treatment plans for care are a shared responsibility amongst providers, customer-owners, and families. The entire system of care is designed and driven by the goals and values of Alaska Native and Native American peoples who SCF partners with and to whom SCF is accountable.
