Alaska hospitals: racial-equity scorecards
21 Medicare-certified hospitals serve Alaska, represented by the Alaska State Hospital and Nursing Home Association. This page aggregates CMS Hospital Compare measures — overall star rating, mortality / safety / readmission / patient-experience measure-group performance — for each of those facilities.
Alaska's small Black population means many race-stratified hospital measures are cell-suppressed. The Alaska Native Medical Center + tribal health system carry the largest share of Indigenous + multiracial patients outside the commercial system.
The state's recognized safety-net hospital systems — the facilities that carry a disproportionate share of Medicaid and uninsured admissions — include: Providence Alaska Medical Center (Anchorage), Alaska Native Medical Center (Anchorage), and Bartlett Regional Hospital (Juneau). Each has its own detail page below.
Two editorial notes on scope. First, CMS does not publish a racial-disparity scorecard per-hospital at national scale; what we surface below is the facility's overall CMS rating paired with any race-stratified metric we could find in a primary source (AHRQ Disparities Atlas, a state discharge scorecard, or a published study). Second, we do not rank hospitals as 'worst for Black patients' without a primary-source citation — the legal standard for that claim requires it.
