History[edit | edit source]

This act led to the creation of 12 regional corporations in Alaska, one of which is the Cook Inlet Region, Inc., the parent organization of Southcentral Foundation. The foundation was created to provide health services to the Alaska Native and American Indian population in the Southcentral region of Alaska.
