Community Resource Services
SVT’s Community Health Representative works with Senior Citizens of Seldovia to provide health outreach services. In addition to opening our Fitness Center five days a week, we offer home visits for elders to ensure their wellbeing. We also provide transportation to appointments, the airport and if needed to the store or post office. Additionally, free blood pressure and blood sugar screening can be done during scheduled home visits.
SVT also offers Fee Agent Assistance (by appointment only) for the State of Alaska, assisting with applications for Medicaid, Medicare, Veterans Benefits, food stamps, State and Tribal energy assistance. This also includes making travel arrangements for Medicaid patients.
Veteran’s Support Services
Seldovia Village Tribe collaborates with the Veterans Administration to support our veterans. Through SVT Health & Wellness, we provide local medical services with a billing system that eliminates pre-approval procedures, enabling faster, more efficient service for our veterans. Seldovia Village Tribe also sponsors a variety of community activities for veterans.
Fitness Center
SVT’s Fitness Center is located inside our Alaska Tribal Cache building, adjacent to the Seldovia Conference Center, and enjoys an outstanding view of Seldovia Bay.
