Do you love the outdoors? Come work for a financially stable Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) located in beautiful Anchorage.

Providers enjoy access to world-class outdoor recreation, a strong sense of community, and a meaningful opportunity to support individuals and families in two unique and rapidly growing areas.
