Our AHEC Centers

The Washington AHEC Program Office supports four Area Health Education Centers through statewide collaborations, program evaluation, and reporting. Our centers join 235 AHECs across the nation, whose members work to recruit, train, and retain health professionals to work in rural and under-resourced communities.
