Who we are
A program created and developed by Congress in 1971, Area Health Education
Centers nationwide educate, recruit, train, and retain a healthcare workforce
committed to serving the health and wellness needs of our most at-risk, medically
underserved rural and urban communities.
The AHEC program helps bring the resources of academic medicine to your
community, attracting developing minds and encouraging them to put their future
talents to use in their communities—the communities that often need them the most.
The AHEC Network successfully adapts national initiatives to help address
healthcare issues and obstacles on regional and local levels. NEMO AHEC focuses
on the exposure, education, and training of healthcare workers throughout Northeast
Missouri. We put all of our resources into enhancing our current and future
healthcare infrastructure by focusing on improving the healthcare system. We work
with academic institutions, healthcare settings, behavioral health practices, and
numerous community-based organizations serving Northeast Missouri.
