Welcome to Eastern Area Health Education Center. Our mission is to meet the region's health and health workforce needs by providing educational programs in partnership with academic institutions, health care agencies, and other organizations committed to improving the health of the people of North Carolina.

Eastern AHEC serves the 23-county northeastern region of North Carolina.

The faculty and staff provide continuing education programs in allied health, dentistry, nursing, medicine, mental health, pharmacy and public health. Eastern AHEC also provides resources and support for community-based education for health sciences students, residents and preceptors. Outreach library services are provided in conjunction with the William E. Laupus Health Sciences Library at ECU.
