Other guests, including government delegations from China and Greenaland and medical teams from Norway, Panama, and Kosovo, highlight the concept of diverse cultures benefitting from Alaska technology. The Consortium works to achieve its mission through its divisions: Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC) is a 150-bed facility offering specialty, tertiary, and primary care, and co-managed by ANTHC and Southcentral Foundation. ANMC provides a full range of medical services with over 250 Board-certified physicians and more than 700 nurses on staff.

AFHCAN has increased the number of videoconferencing sites in Alaska to 96. In FY07, AFHCAN began deploying telemedicine system upgrades that provide greater capability to Community Health Aides to provide care to their patients in the villages. About 68 percent of all telehealth cases prevented unnecessary patient travel. In 8 percent of the cases, telehealth asssessments resulted in patients traveling to see providers who were able to catch a critical disease at an earlier stage, when treatment is often more effective. In FY07, HIT provided training to 444 telehealth users. ANMC specialists now provide Continuing Medical Education and on-site training to staff at both regional hospitals and village clinics. AFHCAN capabilities have been exported to Indian Health Service facilities across the country. The State of Alaska has chosen ANTHC's Regional Supply Service Center as the agency to deploy the 'National Strategic Stockpile' of emergency medical supplies if necessary in major emergencies in Alaska.
