Alaska Health Fair – Partnerships Coord (Anchorage)
 
 
 
AHF is a non-profit, established in 1980, with the goal of promoting health and wellness, and providing Alaskans with affordable and comprehensive preventative health screenings and test. Specifically AHF performs: health fairs throughout the State of Alaska, they offer free or low-cost health and safety education, and preventative screening to the public through a community volunteer program to improve health and welfare for Alaskans, train volunteer coordinators in communities who are capable of providing health fairs, provide health and well-being knowledge and skills to the public to stimulate a public attitude and appreciation of personal health, coordinate with agencies, individuals, associations, corporations, and others to obtain materials, supplies, and other support necessary to carry out health fairs and bring affordable care and health screening to all parts of Alaska. This position will build sustainable ways for Alaska Health Fair, Inc. (AHF) to have health fairs in different locations throughout Alaska. As time moves, technology has become an asset for non-profit organizations. However, non-profit organizations need the guidance of how to construct a database, and show impact of their events on the community, and to its funders. Data has become a need, rather than a want. As local and state organizations become aware of the AHF services and their impact via concrete and tangible data elements, i.e. array of health indicators; we hope this will promote partnerships with AHF. The more partnerships, community support and secured grants the greater amount of people will have access the health care. AHF's give access to health care for people experiencing poverty and helps alleviate the finical burdens that go along with health maintenance such as traveling to doctors. By measuring the impact of AHF this will allow for them to help more people in positive ways as well as have more health fairs.
