Celebrate Community Health Aide Appreciation Day!

On September 10, BBAHC recognizes and celebrates Alaska Community Health Aide Appreciation Day, a day designated to officially acknowledge the important work and positive impact Health Aides have on the well-being of our communities. Community Health Aides have supported our region for generations. Even without pay, our now Elders worked tirelessly to support their people and faced challenges with grace and resiliency with a sense of professionalism and love for their communities. Still today, our health aides are there for our people, with greater communication and a structure built to last. To the Bristol Bay Area Health Corporation Community Health Aides, to our past, present and future generations, quyana!
