ANTHC Taps TCC Attorney as Interim CEO
Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium
An attorney for the Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC) is the choice of the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) to become Interim President and CEO. Natasha Singh takes over for Valerie Nurr’araluk Davidson, the former lieutenant governor of Alaska who has led the statewide healthcare nonprofit since March 2021.
Prior to working at ANTHC, Singh served as TCC’s general counsel for more than a decade. During that time, she was part of the team that oversaw the joint venture to build and staff the Chief Andrew Isaac Health Center in Fairbanks.
Singh is a tribal citizen of Stevens Village. She is a graduate of the University of Washington School of Law and Dartmouth College. She represents Alaska tribes as the co-lead negotiator for the Alaska Tribal Health Compact.
For the past two years, Singh worked alongside Davidson to implement ANTHC’s strategic priorities. Davidson is credited with guiding two of the largest health facilities investments in ANTHC’s history, securing more than $1 billion for rural sanitation construction and improving the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services hospital star rating at Alaska Native Medical Center for the first time in its history.

“Three years ago, Valerie was brought in to support the transition of the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium out of a leadership crisis. She brought stability and set the organization on a bright path to achieve our strategic goals,” says ANTHC Board Chair Kimberley Strong. “Valerie supported the remarkable transformation of the organization, attracted new talent to join our workforce, and made meaningful improvements, such as investing in the Alaska Native Medical Center’s Emergency Department, necessary to sustain this progress. We thank Valerie for her service to ANTHC and the people that we serve during her three-year commitment. The Board has full confidence in Natasha’s ability to lead the organization during this transition.”
