Alaska Native Medical Center chef uses wisdom of Alaska Natives

Alaska Native Medical Center chef uses wisdom of Alaska Natives to help patients heal Nutrient-rich and culturally impactful, indigenous comfort foods provide healing power to patients, staff and hospital employees. From seal soup to moose stew and reindeer potpie, these Alaskan staples have healing properties backed up by science. When a moose was struck by a car and killed on a lonely Alaska road, Executive Chef Amy Foote knew exactly what not to do: let it go to waste. Foote, who grew up hunting in the Montana wilderness, can bleed, skin and butcher a moose, then cook it into a delicious, healing stew. This animal’s life was not in vain.

Tribal health groups are vaccinating teens and healthy adults for COVID-19, a virus that hits Alaska Native people at disproportionate rates

Dave Nicolai got an unexpected phone call Wednesday morning. The 36-year-old engineer was suddenly eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination through his health care provider, Southcentral Foundation. As the state’s complex rollout moves slowly through health workers and senior Alaskans, with some stumbles along the way, vaccine for relatively healthy younger people like Nicolai who aren’t essential workers could be weeks or months off depending on the pace of federal supplies. [ ] But Nicolai is served by the state’s tribal health system, which is giving out vaccinations at a much faster pace. Tribal authorities are already immunizing everyone from elders to teens in some villages, getting precious vials to far-flung places by plane, boat and snowmachine.
