What Is APCA?
The Alaska Primary Care Association is the statewide organization that supports and advocates for Alaska’s Community Health Centers (CHCs). APCA provides training, technical assistance, workforce development, and policy leadership to strengthen healthcare access for all Alaskans—especially in rural and underserved regions.
Each year, APCA honors individuals from CHCs across the state who embody excellence in healthcare service, leadership, innovation, and commitment to community wellness.
Why This Award Matters
Being recognized by APCA is more than an accolade—it is one of the highest honors in Alaska’s community health world. Recipients are nominated by colleagues who see their impact every day. These awards highlight people who:
Demonstrate exceptional leadership
Bring innovative solutions to rural healthcare
Show unwavering compassion and dedication
Strengthen the mission and values of CHCs
Go above and beyond to support patients, staff, and their communities
To be selected from among the many dedicated professionals across Alaska’s health centers is truly remarkable.
Congratulations to Daphne and Joshua!
This year, we are thrilled to announce that Daphne and Joshua have been honored by APCA for their outstanding contributions to community health.
