What is AHEC and what does an AHEC do?
The Area Health Education Center (AHEC) performs local, multi-disciplinary programs designed to improve the health workforce of medically underserved areas in the community. Utilizing the AHEC Recruitment and Retention Community model (click on Community Health for more info on the ARRC model) AHEC helps communities create a pipeline for short and long term health workforce needs.

Prairie AHEC is one of nine regional centers of the East Texas AHEC. Click on the link at left to bring up a map showing the areas covered by East Texas AHEC, and links to the other nine centers which comprise the East Texas AHEC.
