New York State AHEC

Headquartered in Buffalo, the New York State AHEC System is a workforce development initiative with nine community-based affiliates statewide. The New York State AHEC system works with its member organizations to enhance access to quality health care and improve health care outcomes by addressing the health workforce needs of medically disadvantaged communities and populations. The statewide system is funded through the federal Department of Health and Human Services, New York State and local community support. Leadership comes from community-based centers, the Statewide Office at the University at Buffalo, and regional offices at Upstate Medical University and Institute for Family Health.
