Jennifer Scott, Executive Director of the Southern Vermont Area Health Education Center (AHEC), came to talk about the role of the Health Education Center.
 
Southern Vermont AHEC is one of two independent not-for-profit regional AHEC Centers in Vermont funded by federal, state, and community support. A robust health workforce creates jobs, serves communities, and spurs economic activity.
 
Primary Goals of the Vermont AHEC Network:
  • Strengthen Vermont’s health workforce development infrastructure through academic and community partnerships.
  • Helping to train and develop a diverse healthcare workforce prepared to deliver culturally appropriate, high-quality team-based care with an emphasis on primary care for rural and underserved populations in Vermont.
 
Jennifer is surrounded by Eric Fritz and Club President Clay Reed.
