Alaska Center for Rural Health and Health Workforce
The Alaska Center for Rural Health & Health Workforce (ACRH-HW) is dedicated to strengthening Alaska’s health workforce, with a focus on rural communities and addressing workforce shortages. 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. It provides a statewide framework to support health workforce development, from career exploration and training to continuing education.
