Alaska public health to charge for children’s services

As of July 1st of this year, Public Health Centers across Alaska are charging fees for their services. For over two decades the system has had a sliding-fee scale for adult clients. Now, for the first time, children are included -- for services like well-child exams and immunizations. The Division of Public Health views the news fees as a way to ensure the sustainability of the centers; others worry that people will forego care.

Stoking the fire she started

What a pleasure it was to visit with Marika Partridge, Raven Radio founder and first Program Director. She started planning for Raven Radio's 30th Anniversary celebrations last summer with a phone call to the station..."What are we planning?" and helped lead preparations through the year, right up to the festivities. Marika and her wonderful family pitched in wherever needed and lifted the spirits of all those around them. Thank you for your time, energy, talents and excellent radio!
