With the budget the size of 12 other departments, and the staff the size of six, the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services is described as a “beast” by Adam Crum, its Commissioner. On FirstHand, the podcast, Commissioner Crum tells Host Patty Sullivan how splitting the department into two will provide a better level of service, gain efficiencies, and provide room for innovation. Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy will introduce an executive order in the upcoming legislative session to reorganize the hefty department.
