The Florida Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) Network is an extensive,
statewide system for health professional education and support founded
upon 10 regional Area Health Education Centers. Each AHEC is supported
by an AHEC program at one of the state's five medical schools. This
organizational structure enables the AHECs to draw upon the resources
of the academic health centers in addressing local health care issues.
The Florida AHEC Network has, over this past decade, addressed the
primary health care needs of Florida's most vulnerable populations
through a series of innovative strategies designed to:
Extend Academic Health

Provide Information
and Support for Community Providers
Influence Health
