For much of Alaska, there has never been routine access to veterinary care. The Healthy Dog, Healthy Community project is dedicated to increasing the availability of veterinary care in rural Alaska to help minimize the negative health impacts that result from a lack of access to veterinary care. One of the first steps is to contact communities statewide to learn more about the situation on the ground. Please take a few moments to answer simple questions about veterinary care in your community. Community names will never be shared.
If you have any questions please contact Brian Berube at bjberube@anthc.org
