AHEC Program Secures Stable Funding Future.
With the passage of at state
budget late on June 30th, Indiana lawmakers secure the Indiana
AHEC Program's ability to continue to provide services across
the state to prepare a health workforce that is willing and able
to serve Indiana's most vulnerable communities. A biennial line
item appropriation of $2,775,000 will allow Indiana's AHEC
Program to keep it's West Central, Northwest and South Central
AHECs thriving and paves the way for expansion into new regions
of the state, enhancing our ability to reach out to students and
health professionals more effectively.
AHEC
leadership would like to thank all of our many partners and
supporters across the state for supporting our advocacy efforts
to educate the members of the Indiana General Assembly about the
health workforce needs in your communities and the vital role of
AHEC in helping your community address those needs into the
future. We encourage you to personally thank your state
Representatives and Senators for their hard work during this
special session of the Indiana General Assembly and for passing
a budget that includes adequate funding for the Indiana AHEC
Program.
