Why We're Here

We moved to Alaska to work as Dentist and Nurse for Eastern Aleutian Tribes in the remote Aleutian Islands. Based out of Sand Point on Popof Island, we will be traveling to several villages, including Akutan, Adak, Cold Bay, False Pass, Nelson's Lagoon, and King Cove. We'll fly to each island and stay as long as it takes for Jim to provide dental care for every villager. Meanwhile, Sarah will be caring for diabetics and teaching about nutrition with many of the same and other villagers. The need in these areas is incredible and we feel honored to get to be a part of improving the quality of life of the people here. Oh, and we won't be surprised if we find the greatest improvement in our own.

Oh, Sarah and Jim, so good to finally catch up. I am so proud of the work that you are doing in Alaska, and I know that your family is proud too. Please keep safe and warm and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers each day. XOXO God Bless :)
