    In February, staff reflected on the last four years as we wrote our report narrative for WK Kellogg Foundation. We realized that in spite of some extreme setbacks, Alaska DHAT has accomplished its objectives, and then some: in villages currently served by DHATs, over 35,000 more people in rural Alaska now have access to oral healthcare.

DHAT Profile

Corina CadzowBased in Ft. Yukon, AK

Employed by Council of Athabascan Tribal Governments

I am from Fort Yukon, Alaska. My goal was to start a career that was always different and challenging. I got an education as a Dental Health Aide Therapist so I could return to my hometown and work with the people of my community. I try to make the people confortable, and educate them on how to keep from getting cavities. I have a lot of friends here and like to help in anyway I can. I like to go camping, hunting, and fishing. I also like to bead and play basketball.

Office Manager

Yuut Elitnaurviat Dental Training Clinic

I am a Yup’ik Eskimo and I come from Tununak, Alaska. I have lived in that area for 21 years. I am the oldest of six siblings. I was raised by my grandparents, Robert and Rita Angaiak, but I consider my mom Brenda as mom and my grandparents as grandparents. My mother is recently divorced. I have a  5 year old boy named Derek and a child on the way. I love fishing and sometimes ice fishing…only if I am dressed properly for the weather. I just recently discovered Bethel is not the place where I want to ice fish because it is TOO COLD!
