In 2025, Health Center Program awardees served 316,993 people across Alabama.

That care takes a team: physicians, nurses, behavioral health and dental professionals, pharmacists, care coordinators, Community Health Workers, and many others working together to meet local needs.

As part of this broader workforce, Alabama AHEC is helping expand the state’s Community Health Worker workforce, strengthening connections between people, resources, and care.

During National Health Center Week, we recognize the many professionals who make community-based care possible across Alabama.

What sparks a future career in healthcare? Sometimes it starts with a single hands-on experience.

Black Belt Alabama AHEC was excited to participate in The University of West Alabama STEM Camp, where more than 100 K-12 students explored healthcare careers through interactive activities, including CPR and AED demonstrations, dental health, PPE, and aging simulation.

By introducing students to healthcare careers early, they are helping inspire the next generation of professionals who will serve communities across Alabama.

Access to healthcare begins with access to healthcare professionals. In many rural and under-resourced communities, shortages of physicians, nurses, dentists, mental health professionals, and other providers can make it more difficult for patients to receive timely, quality care close to home.

These shortages often lead to longer wait times, increased travel distances, and delays in preventive and ongoing care.

Strengthening the healthcare workforce through education, training, and community partnerships helps improve access, support continuity of care, and build healthier communities across Alabama.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a dermatologist?

Dermatologists care for more than skin. They diagnose and treat conditions affecting the skin, hair, and nails, from acne and eczema to skin cancer. This career combines science, problem-solving, specialized procedures, and the opportunity to make a lasting difference in patients’ health.

Could dermatology be the career for you or a future healthcare professional you know?
