The Ketchikan Wellness Coalition promotes community wellness through assessment and action. To see what we've been up to go to our website www.ktnkwc.org
The Ketchikan Wellness Coalition is an umbrella organization for task forces that focus on specific areas of need in the community. These task forces act as a platform for individuals and organizations—collaborating and achieving greater success. The goal of the KWC is to increase the quality of life for its residents by making Ketchikan a place people choose to live in. In 2007, the United Way of Southeast Alaska released the Compass II survey. This survey contained detailed quantitative data and statistics related to Ketchikan and its population and a large amount of qualitative data based on statements and opinions offered throughout the survey, focus groups, and interviews. After the distribution of this report, an organizational group of individuals met once a month for about a year identifying how to proceed. At that time, this group developed a strategic plan with the vision statement: “Establish Ketchikan as a vibrant community that people choose to live in and move to” and the mission statement: “promote community wellness through assessment and action.” This group became the “Ketchikan Wellness Coalition” with the goal of addressing the needs identified in the Compass II Assessment and other community needs identified through future assessments. Today the KWC is a formal 501 (c)3 non-profit organization with a Board of Directors, staff and Task Forces.
