Story Spotlight
Last year, in response to the widening gap between job demand and talent supply within the healthcare sector, the North Carolina Area Health Education Centers Program (NC AHEC) joined forces with the NC Center on the Workforce for Health, North Carolina Institute of Medicine (NCIOM), Sheps Center, and the NC Chamber Foundation to form the NC Health Talent Alliance. This strategic initiative focused on creating a sustainable pipeline of healthcare professionals to meet the growing needs of North Carolina's healthcare industry. Piedmont AHEC is an active participant in this effort, concentrating on the eight counties within the Piedmont region. Their work aims to align regional resources and stakeholders to ensure a steady supply of skilled healthcare professionals to support local needs.
