Headquartered at the Medical University of Ohio in Toledo, the Ohio Statewide AHEC program is a vital initiative that works to bring resources of the 7 medical schools out to communities throughout the state. Improving health care in rural and urban undeserved areas is the ultimate goal. A strength of the Ohio AHEC program is the flexibility that permits each medical school to continually assess, reassess, and establish programs to address the unique health care issues encountered in their region.
The Ohio Statewide AHEC website outlines the overarching goals for AHEC in the state. The site also highlights some of the important collaborative efforts that utilize the resources of all the regions to achieve common objectives.
