Southcentral Foundation Developmental Pediatrician Dr. Randy Zernzach.
Dr. Randy Zernzach received the Alaska Health Achievement Award at the 2024 Alaska Public Health Association (ALPHA) Health Summit.
Dr. Zernzach, a developmental-behavioral pediatrician and the first medical director for the Alaska Native Medical Center’s Child and Family Developmental Services, was recognized for removing obstacles and establishing care for Alaska Native and American Indian children with neurodevelopmental health care needs.
He has supported improved health care system access to assessments and referrals and streamline processes for families.
He has also collaborated with other disciplines and practitioners, such as audiologists, speech therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, applied behavior analysts, psychologists, and individual and family counselors, to promote overall wellness. His contributions to these projects are changing the way intellectual and developmental disabilities are responded to within the state of Alaska. Dr. Zernzach’s leadership, along with the entire CFDS team are improving the ways we support children and families.
