The Center oversees various programs, including the Alaska Area Health Education Centers (AHEC), which operate through six regional community-based centers across the state. As part of the University of Alaska Anchorage's role as the state's health campus, the Center supports health program planning, community partnerships, and intercampus collaboration.
