HETC Mission

From 1989 to 2005, HETCs provided community health education and health professions training programs in border and non-border areas of the United States with severely underserved populations such as communities with diverse cultures and languages. Border HETCs targeted health care workforce needs to address the population in close proximity to the U.S.-Mexico border and in Florida using a bi-national approach to border health issues. Non-border HETCs were located in other seriously underserved areas of the country.
