Helping Communities Address Health Care Needs

The Connecticut Area Health Education Center (AHEC) Program provides continuing education resources for an array of health professions, recruits under-represented and disadvantaged persons into health care careers and conducts health promotion activities. We help communities identify and address current and projected needs and facilitate community-academic partnerships that address local health care issues by providing these core functions.

The Connecticut AHEC Program, at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, brings the resources of the Health Center to virtually all of Connecticut's 169 towns and cities. There are four AHEC regional offices in Connecticut that together provide statewide coverage.
