Quotes from Letters of Support
“The unavailability of reliable, affordable and high-speed broadband connections becomes a significant limiting factor in fully utilizing the ability and capacity of health care providers, particularly those working in rural and frontier areas. Developing and improving the infrastructure which increases that ability can only serve to improve both access to and quality of care. ”
- Marilyn Walsh Kasmar, CEO, Alaska Primary Care Association, August 10, 2009
“This project is important for the healthcare of Alaska Natives because it allows small villages and regional health organizations to take full advantage of technology that greatly assists in the diagnosis and treatment of our patients.”
- Don Kashevaroff, Chief Executive Officer, Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, July 31, 2009
“ARRA provided the construction funding necessary to begin construction on our state of the art Indian Health Services hospital now under construction…The machinery and equipment cannot be put to its fullest and best use absent true broadband connectivity. Just the requirement to transition to digital health records along will be difficult for us to fully comply with given the lack of access to bandwidth.”
- Angela Gorn, Vice President of Hospital Services, Norton Sound Health Corporation, July 31, 2009
