Health Fairs

Benjamin Franklin once said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” The nine counties of South Coastal AHEC consist of multiple underserved rural communities. Health Fairs are a healthcare resource for the people of the rural communities. As an AHEC, we sponsor and are involved in the rural health fairs in our counties. Between our organization and our partners, we are able to provide many health related services and preventative healthcare information to the communities with a problem of access to care. Our long-term goal is to find a healthcare home for each of the citizens in our counties.
