This 200-room facility on the Alaska Native Health campus offers a supportive “home away from home” environment for patients traveling from outside Anchorage. With communal kitchens, natural light, and rooms themed around native medicinal plants, the design promotes healing and comfort.
The sixth floor, managed by Ronald McDonald House Charities, is tailored for expectant mothers and families, providing specialized care and interactive play areas. The building’s thoughtful design, referencing the surrounding birch forest, enhances connection to nature, supporting both physical and emotional well-being for patients and their families.
