Craft Shop at ANMC celebrates 50 years

The Craft Shop at the Alaska Native Medical Center is celebrating its 50th anniversary!

The Craft Shop was founded in 1974 at the Anchorage Medical Center of the Alaska Native Service (ANS) in downtown Anchorage, by three remarkable, yet modest women, Agnes Coyle, Jeanne Dougherty and Karin Vogeler. When the new Alaska Native Medical Center opened in 1997, the Craft Shop moved to its current location in the hospital.
