The Northeast AHEC facilitates and partners in a variety of community health events, which target community members in all stages of life. Many of these community activities include: coordination of and participation in health screenings, facilitation of speakers and educational booths on a variety of healthcare related topics, and instruction of community CPR courses.
Our largest community health event is our annual community baby shower, "Oh Baby! It's a Baby Shower." This event attracts over 300 new and expectant parents each year. The day includes: numerous informational booths from local organizations and vendors, a question and answer session with local healthcare professionals, and many infant care door prizes donated byarea businesses and organizations from our 17 counties.
The NE AHEC provides staff support to New Hope Clinic and People's Clinic in an effort to improve healthcare access to Kentucky's underserved and growing minority population. These clinics offer basic health care to uninsured individuals free of charge.
