SEARHC is a non-profit health consortium which serves the health interests of the residents of Southeast Alaska.SEARHC was established in 1975 under the provisions of the Indian Self-Determination Act.The intent of this legislation was to have Indian Health Service programs and facilities turned over to tribal management. Our contracting with IHS began in 1976 when we took over management of the Community Health Aides Program. In 1982, we took over operation of the IHS Juneau clinic,now the Ethel Lund Medical Center, and took over operation of Sitka’s Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital in 1986. We are one of the oldest and largest Native-run health organizations in the nation.
