Federal $40M loan funds Mat-Su care center

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The Southcentral Foundation is getting a federal loan to build a new Alaska Native primary care clinic in the Mat-Su Valley. The $40 million loan is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

The new 93,000-square-foot primary care center will be built in Wasilla and have a staff of 250.

“Building this clinic serves two worthwhile purposes: providing jobs to Mat-Su residents and addressing Alaska's shortage of primary care facilities, doctors and other health care providers,” said Sen. Mark Begich.
