Foundation Health Partners

Foundation Health Partners (FHP) in Fairbanks, Alaska, stands as a cornerstone of healthcare in the community, embodying a community-owned and operated model. With three main facilities—Tanana Valley Clinic, Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, and Denali Center—FHP provides comprehensive healthcare services that address a broad spectrum of needs. As the largest private employer in the Interior region, the system's influence extends beyond healthcare, significantly contributing to the local economy.

FHP offers diverse services ranging from primary care to specialized treatment areas such as addiction medicine, cardiology, and oncology, featuring facilities like the J. Michael Carroll Cancer Center. The system's focus on community health is further bolstered by initiatives such as the Community Health Needs Assessment, and its embrace of telehealth technologies like Telestroke and TeleNephrology enhances access to care in remote areas. Financial aid for underinsured populations and reinvestment in community wellness underscore FHP's dedication to meeting the community's healthcare needs, reflecting a deep-rooted commitment since its establishment in 1968.
