Katherine Gottlieb was the president and CEO of the Southcentral Foundation, [1] an Alaska Native Healthcare Organization.
She graduated from Alaska Pacific University with a Bachelor of Arts degree, a master's degree in business administration, and an honorary doctorate. [2]
Southcentral Foundation's Nuka system of health care grew from fewer than 100 employees to more than 2,000; and from an operating budget of about $3 million to $323 million. [3] Funding for SCF is 45 percent from the Indian Health Service, 50 percent from third party insurers or Medicaid, and the remaining 5 percent from foundation or grants. [4] Gottlieb resigned from her position at SCF on August 3, 2020, two weeks after the organization fired three dentists, including her husband Kevin Gottlieb for falsifying health records. [5]
