Abstract

The majority of health disparities in Alaska are related to reliable and affordable access to health care. This is particularly relevant to the communities in southeast Alaska (SEAK) because many of them are isolated island communities. The purpose of my research was to determine the areas in SEAK with the most severe limitations to enable health professionals in this region to meet the goals set in Healthy Alaskans 2010.
