About Us
UAF Legacy Health is committed to providing affirming healthcare for our community and beyond.
Our Mission
UAF Legacy Health exists to be a lasting institution of care. Centered on our community, it is open to all who are part of the communities in which we live, love, and grow. Our mission is to provide consistent, affirming healthcare rooted in trust that responds to the real conditions of our patients' lives.
Our Vision
We envision a healthcare system where non-judgemental, holistic, and respectful care is the standard for all people. This is the best kind of care, benefiting everyone, regardless of identity or means.
Our Core Values
These values guide our approach to healthcare and community service.
Resilience
We are committed to being an institution with a strong foundation that can endure any external pressures or challenges, ensuring continuity of care, no matter what arises. We invest in the long-term sustainability of the institution so that care remains available and accessible to all, regardless of political, economic, or social fluctuations.
Community Accountability & Governance
We are building a health system rooted in collective stewardship and accountable leadership. Our governance reflects this commitment, with a diverse board of community members and allies who both lead and receive care. This structure ensures our decisions remain principled, informed, and responsive to those we serve.
Mutual Care
At UAF Legacy Health, receiving care is a contribution to something larger. It reinforces a care system designed not for profit, but for continuity and access. When insured patients choose us, they help fund services for those who cannot pay. This model sustains an institution built by our community and for our community. Every appointment is a commitment to one another's future.
Human Dignity
We provide care that honors the dignity of every person through cultural competence, trauma-informed practice, and deep respect. From first contact to ongoing care, we ensure people are not just welcomed, but truly seen, heard, and supported.
