Walk & Roll for Hope
Kenai: Saturday, May 10, 2025

Sign up for the 2025 Walk & Roll for Hope!
This year’s theme, "Hope Starts Here," highlights the importance of keeping children with disabilities and complex medical needs in Alaska rather than being sent out-of-state to institutions. By participating, you are helping to create a future where every child can receive the care and support they need right here in Alaska—their home.
This year, we're making some exciting changes to the Walk & Roll for Hope for Anchorage participants. For the first time, the event will take place on a Thursday evening instead of the traditional first Saturday in May, allowing participants to enjoy better spring weather. Additionally, we're bringing a new 'Taste of Anchorage' experience to the Walk route! During and after the Walk, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy delicious treats from some of Anchorage’s best local restaurants such as Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse and Spenard Roadhouse.

We are about to welcome the month of May, which is Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and we encourage this month as an opportunity to have open conversations, reduce stigma, and support your well-being as well as that of our employees, support recipients, families, and the greater community.
Stay tuned throughout the month, as we’ll be sharing tips, resources, and activities to promote mental wellness and encourage self-care. We hope you'll join us in making mental health a priority—this month and every month.
National Nurses' Week
May 6-12, 2025

National Nurses Week is an annual celebration that honors the role nurses play in healthcare. Held this year from May 6 to May 12, this will be a week to recognize the dedication, compassion, and expertise of nurses at Hope, in Alaska, and across the country. Whether they are providing care in homes, hospitals, schools, or community organizations, nurses are the backbone of health services—and we say thank you.
This year’s theme, "The Power of Nurses to Transform Health," highlights the timeless impact of nurses and the countless ways they transform lives every day, from coordinating care to advocating for patient needs to offering emotional support during challenging times to educating families and more.
That's all for now! Check back regularly for updates.
