Welcome to Coastal AHEC!
|
Located in La Marque, Texas, the Coastal Area Health Education Center is a cooperative effort between The University of Texas Medical Branch and the Coastal AHEC, Inc. Coastal AHEC works with Brazoria, Chambers, Galveston, Hardin, Jefferson, Liberty, Matagorda, and Orange counties seeking to improve the health of our population, especially the underserved, by creating partnerships among community and academic organizations. We link health care resources to build and strengthen community-based education programs. A regional Governing Board of Directors guides the Coastal AHEC in it's mission. Funding support for AHEC programs and centers combines federal, state, public, and/or private resources. Coastal AHEC program areas include Health Careers Promotion (focuses on recruitment of potential students into healthcare professionals), Community-Based Education (gets students out in underserved communities to experience real-world primary care medicine), Community Health Literacy, and Community Health Systems (help communities recognize their needs, goals, and strengths, and teach them how to help themselves).
