The Arizona AHEC Program
Helping Arizonans get the healthcare they need where they need it.

Our mission: To improve the recruitment, diversity, distribution, and retention of culturally competent personnel providing health services in rural and medically underserved communities.

The Arizona AHEC Program serves our rural and medically underserved communities and populations through five community-based non-profit AHECs and is administered through the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center.

The Arizona AHEC Program works in partnership with Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, Arizona’s community colleges and a wide spectrum of K-12 educators, community based agencies, health care institutions and healthcare providers.
