Arctic Oil & Gas Directory: Doyon donates $1 million for new health center

Alaska Native News said Nov. 24 that Doyon Ltd. is donating $1 million to Tanana Chiefs Conference in support of the construction of the new Chief Andrew Isaac Health Center. The Doyon board of directors approved the contribution at their regular quarterly meeting held in mid-November in Fairbanks.

In approving the contribution, the Doyon board stated that it is an investment that will benefit Doyon shareholders and the Native community as whole. A significant number of Doyon shareholders and their descendants reside in Interior Alaska and receive health care services through Tanana Chiefs Conference programs.

“Doyon is pleased to make this donation,” said Aaron Schutt, Doyon’s president and CEO. “It is symbolic of the unity between TCC and Doyon. The clinic and its new features will improve the health care services provided in Interior Alaska.”

Tanana Chiefs Conference is the traditional tribal consortium of the 42 villages of Interior Alaska and provides a unified voice advancing tribal governments, economic and social development, promoting physical and mental wellness, educational opportunities, protecting language, traditional and cultural values.
