This initiative is absolutely vital for rural Alaska! The way AURORA connects local clinics to dermatology hubs is a game-changer. Patients with conditions like atopic dermatitis or psoriasis can now get expert care without traveling hundreds of miles. The hub-and-spoke model ensures that specialized input reaches communities where it is needed most. Seeing the co-founders, Dr. Dorizas and Dr. Galler, lead the program gives great confidence. It is wonderful to see a non-promotional model focused purely on clinical access. This network truly makes the right care accessible to everyone, regardless of their zip code. A fantastic step forward for regional health equity!

The hub-and-spoke model effectively brings specialty care to rural clinics. Patients can receive dermatology guidance locally, reducing the need for long-distance travel for chronic skin conditions.

About AURORA Program
AURORA Program is a healthcare access network that connects rural clinics, tribal health organizations, and primary care teams in Alaska to dermatology specialty hubs through teledermatology. It operates on a hub-and-spoke model, with hubs in Anchorage, Wasilla, and Juneau, and Fairbanks in development. The program focuses on immune-mediated skin disease and medical dermatology, allowing patients to receive specialty guidance without leaving their communities. Local clinics capture standardized photos and patient data, which dermatology hubs review to build diagnosis and treatment plans that are then implemented back at the spoke site. AURORA is currently building and recruiting founding spoke sites across rural Alaska.
