Developing the Workforce for a Healthy North Carolina
The NC AHEC Program began in 1972 to address national and state concerns with the supply, distribution, and retention of health care professionals. In 1974, the State of North Carolina’s General Assembly supported a plan to create a statewide network. Today, thanks to federal and state legislative support, the NC AHEC program consists of the NC AHEC Program Office, a network of nine regional AHECs, and the Duke AHEC program.
Located in Wilmington, South East AHEC (SEAHEC) provides quality resources, education, and training to health providers in Brunswick, Columbus, Duplin, New Hanover, and Pender counties. SEAHEC has been serving south eastern North Carolina’s health workforce since 1972.
SEAHEC is part of Novant Health New Hanover Regional Medical Center (NHNHRMC). Novant Health is a not-for-profit integrated system of 16 medical centers and more than 1,900 physicians in over 800 locations, as well as numerous outpatient surgery centers, medical plazas, rehabilitation programs, diagnostic imaging centers and community health outreach programs. Novant Health's more than 36,000 team members and physician partners care for patients and communities in North Carolina and South Carolina.
