The Central Area Health Education Center, Inc. (AHEC) is a private, non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization. It was initially conceived in 1976 when five neighborhood health centers worked together to address the health care needs of Hartford's medically under-served residents. In 1980, the Hartford Health Centers Consortium was incorporated. In 1988, the organization became the Hartford Primary Care Consortium, Inc. (HPCC) and in 2000, the name changed again to the Central Area Health Education Center, Inc.
The Central Area Health Education Center (AHEC) focuses on increasing access to health care for underserved, minority and vulnerable populations. Central AHEC is a community-based organization that works with existing health care systems and entities to strengthen health care delivery and/or to develop new systems of delivery to meet new and changing demands for health care services. |
