About JAMHI
We at JAMHI Health & Wellness, Inc. are fortunate to have many strengths and assets that help us pursue our mission of helping people live their best lives. From clean, well-maintained facilities to incredibly supportive community partnerships to the longstanding tenure of our high-quality services to the community to our caring, committed board of directors to the growing comprehensiveness of our service array; these are all incredibly valuable resources that we do not and will not take for granted.
Still, at JAMHI, we know our most important resource in the achievement of our mission is our human resources.
We work together daily to demonstrate the value and respect of all JAMHI staff. From their passion to help others to their commitment to the JAMHI code of ethics and commitment to quality, to their willingness to continuously learn and cooperatively problem-solve and support one another, JAMHI’s positive organizational culture and the people who participate in it and maintain it every day are deeply appreciated. We demonstrate this in part by:
Regularly comparing our pay scale to those of similarly positioned health and human services throughout Alaska and Southeast Alaska to ensure our continuous competitiveness.
Providing regular opportunities for formal and informal input from all personnel and ensuring accountable follow-through on suggestions for organizational improvement
An educational reimbursement program to support those personnel engaged in their career development in ways that directly contribute to JAMHI’s mission
Providing opportunities for continuous learning and opportunities for internal advancement
At JAMHI, we believe organizational culture eats strategy for lunch and hold our positive organizational culture and the personnel committed to it in the highest regard.

JAMHI Leadership
Board of Directors
JAMHI Health & Wellness, Inc. is governed by a volunteer board of directors who care deeply about our community, the JAMHI workforce, and especially the people we serve.
JAMHI’s board of directors provides practical and ethical governance on behalf of Southeast Alaska stakeholder interests to ensure that our organization is focused on its purpose and outcomes for persons served, resulting in JAMHI’s long-term success and stability.
The board is responsible for ensuring that the organization is managed effectively, efficiently, and ethically by the executive leadership through defined governance accountability mechanisms. These mechanisms include, but are not limited to, an adopted governance framework defined by written governance policies and demonstrated practices, and an active and timely review of organizational performance and that of executive leadership. The demarcation of duties between the board and executive leadership ensures that organizational strategies, plans, decisions, and actions are delegated to the resource that would best advance the interests and performance of the organization over the long term and manage the organization’s inherent risks.
JAMHI’s commitment to effective governance is reflected in part by its successful application of the optional CARF International governance standards at each of its three-year accreditation awards.
