Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta¾Yuut Calilrut Ikaiyuquulluteng/People Working Together Project 

The Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation will design a system of care to serve Yup'ik/Cup'ik Eskimo and Athabaskan Indian people who primarily reside in remote villages in the Delta region of southwestern Alaska.  Formal partnerships among the categorical and fragmented providers across the Delta will be formed to create a single system of care.  Multidisciplinary teams at subregional hub villages provide holistic, culturally competent diagnosis and treatment planning.  Families will participate at all levels of the system from leadership, policymaking, and program evaluation to advocacy and support for each other.  Formal agreements among providers will be developed to allow for single funding streams.  A managed-care system for rural Alaska will be developed.
