Menu items at the Alaska Native Medical Center include moose, wild-caught salmon, and seal and is all part of their “Traditional Food Program.”
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage is striving to help patients feel at home while they are visiting the hospital. According to Amy Foote, the executive chef at the medical center, 66% of the hospital’s menu uses traditional Alaska Native ingredients.
“We might be taking these traditional — say wild-caught salmon — and preparing them in a traditional way,” Foote said. “Or, we might be just taking them and using them in a more kind of mainstream way.” “So, if we don’t have the foods that heal you — that your grandma made, that your auntie made, that you harvested — If we don’t have those available for you here at the hospital, then you might not eat,” Foote said. “And you’re not going to heal if you don’t eat.“These are the nutrients off the land that you’ve always come from,” she said.
“Traditional Alaska Native foods really do present great health benefits and are probably one of the healthiest foods available,” Dunegan said. “... Having fish that’s high in omega-3 fatty acids that help with inflammation, that’s also low in saturated fats which is great for your heart.”
