AHEC AlUMNI/ADVOCATE MEMBERSHIP


If you’ve ever been touched, guided, or inspired by an Area Health Education Center (AHEC), we want to connect with you!


In carrying out a mission that’s more important than ever, nearly 300 AHECs across the U.S. are improving healthcare and changing lives. Each year, thousands of individuals participate in AHEC programs and go on to become health professionals serving their communities. 

That's why the National AHEC Organization (NAO) created the AHEC Alumni/Advocate membership category.

AHEC Alumni/Advocates are individuals who have been positively impacted by Area Health Education Centers and want to stay connected--or reconnect-- with the AHEC mission of expanding and enhancing healthcare access in rural and disadvantaged communities. Current AHEC Scholars are also welcome to join this membership category. Consider becoming an AHEC Alumni/Advocate member today!


Membership Benefits include:


  • Advocacy training and opportunities

Learn about patient/community health advocacy and how to make your case with decision-makers via Advocacy 101 trainings.

  • AHEC mission-centered continuing education programs

Virtual offerings from AHECs geared to equip health professionals to better respond to underserved populations.

    • National networking

    Opportunities to connect with like-minded health professionals who share a passion for providing care for the underserved.
