SEARHC Joins Mayo Clinic Care Network, Expanding Access to Specialized Healthcare in Southeast Alaska
The SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC), a prominent Native-run healthcare organization in the United States, has officially joined the Mayo Clinic Care Network. This affiliation grants SEARHC access to Mayo Clinic's extensive knowledge, expertise, and resources, including digital solutions and capabilities from the Mayo Clinic Platform. The Mayo Clinic Platform is a strategic initiative focused on collaboration, data-driven innovation, and responsible AI development to enhance patient care. Dr. Cate Buley, SEARHC chief medical officer, highlighted that this partnership will allow SEARHC providers to integrate leading medical knowledge into the care they offer locally, addressing the challenge of significant travel often required for specialized expertise in Southeast Alaska. SEARHC, which serves twenty-six communities in the region, underwent a comprehensive evaluation process by Mayo Clinic, demonstrating a strong commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care.
