Giving Back to the Community and the World: At Heritage Family Medicine, caring for patients in Alaska is just the beginning! We support our community with volunteer work locally at Heart Reach Center, and internationally with Medical Missions to foreign lands to serve the underprivileged in need of medical care. We team with honest and trustworthy Catholic organizations to help the poor and those in the United States armed forces. We are helping rebuild the environment. We share core Alaska values of appreciating our magnificent environment that surrounds us every day. We believe restoration and preservation of wild lands is essential for the quality of life we enjoy. Just by attending your office visits at Heritage Family Medicine, you are helping the poor and also restore the natural environments where people live!
