South Piedmont AHEC Regional Advisory Committee
Purpose
South Piedmont AHEC, a department of Atrium Health and part of the NC AHEC Program, strives to fulfill our mission of providing and supporting educational activities and services with a focus on primary care in rural communities and those with less access to resources to recruit, train, and retain the workforce needed to create a healthy North Carolina. Our vision is that every North Carolinian is healthy and supported by an appropriate and well-trained health workforce that reflects the communities it serves. South Piedmont AHEC is one of nine centers in the NC AHEC Program and serves Anson, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Stanly, and Union counties.
The primary purpose of the South Piedmont AHEC Regional Advisory Committee is to gather information on the trends and updates related to community and regional needs. Specific goals will be discussed at our meetings.
The Regional Advisory Committee will meet ten times per year, either face-to-face or virtual. Each meeting will consist of opportunities to discuss best practices in continuing education and workforce development initiatives.
