West Central Missouri Area Health Center
Promoting Access to Quality Care
Area Health Education Centers (AHECs) bring together health career educators, community hospitals, health professionals, and local citizens in a collaborative effort to help:
  • Address shortages of health professionals in underserved and rural areas;
  • Provide community-based services that assist practicing health professionals, like doctors, dentists, nurses and other providers, to further develop and maintain their skills;
  • Encourage students, especially minorities or under-represented groups, to pursue health professions.
West Central Missouri Area Health Education Center exists to:
  • Increase the number of youth interested in pursuing health careers
  • Encourage current health professions students to work in rural and underserved urban areas by offering community-based clinical training experiences
  • Promote access to quality healthcare and healthy lifestyles through educational outreach, community resources, and collaboration.
We achieve this by empowering community residents to take an active role in grooming local youth to be future providers and recruiting healthcare providers who are genuinely interested in serving locally and becoming long-term citizens of that community. In addition, AHEC encourages and assists communities in building local relationships and support to retain the providers.

AHEC is hosted by Greater KC LINC, Inc. and is located in Kansas City, Missouri. Our service area includes Jackson, Johnson, Cass and Lafayette counties in Missouri.

Mission Statement
MAHEC is committed to enhancing access to quality health care, particularly primary and preventive care, by growing and supporting Missouri's healthcare workforce.
