Hello! Camai! Wáa sá iyatée! 
"Live Carefully - What You Do Will Come Back to You." -Universal Alaska Native Cultural Value 
New Year's Resolution: Clean out your medicine cabinets!

Start 2019 on the right foot by getting rid of excess and/or expired medications using our Deterra drug deactivation bags and buckets! Each bag and bucket contains non-toxic chemicals that safely dissolve pills and patches, allowing for environmentally safe disposal. Deterra bags help keep medication out of the wrong hands and guarantee safe disposal for our environment. Order them from our website.

Thank you to AmerisourceBergen for their donation of 2,000 disposal bags. Donations like these help ensure that we can continue to serve Alaskans and reach our vision of Alaska Native people being the healthiest in the world!

Heads up: please take note of the expiration date on these condoms and distribute accordingly, as they expire in the summer months of 2019.

Providers, you may have noticed a new addition to some of your condom orders this month. In November we received a donation of 45,000 latex and numerous non-latex condoms from Trojan™ Brand Condoms! The donation is a great help to us and our mission to provide condoms to Alaskans free of charge. Thank you Trojan™!
