The Alaska Center for Rural Health - Alaska's AHEC was created in 1987 by rural health care providers, educators, and administrators. Its mission is to help strengthen systems to deliver comprehensive and culturally relevant health care to rural Alaskans. It serves all aspects of Alaska’s rural health system: Native and non-Native, physical and behavioral, within all disciplines as they struggle to address our state’s health delivery problems. In 2005, ACRH secured a federal designation to serve as Alaska's Area Health Education Center (AHEC) Program - the first in the country. The AHEC enables Alaska to institutionalize a statewide university-industry partnership focused on strengthening our health workforce.
