MISSION

COMMUNITY-DRIVEN HEALTHCARE, ROOTED IN THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF RURAL ALASKA.

ROOTED IN COMMUNITY

Founded in 1987 to bring care to a region with none, Sunshine Community Health Center grew from a small, community-led clinic into a trusted healthcare home. Guided by leaders like Jessica Stevens, that early determination still drives the care we provide today.
