About GSAHEC

Gulfcoast South AHEC connects students to careers, professionals to communities and communities to better health. We inspire, train, recruit and retain a diverse and broad range of health professionals to practice in communities where the need is greatest. We are affiliated with the University of South Florida AHEC Program, part of the Florida AHEC network, as well as an active member of the National AHEC Organization.

GSAHEC’s mission is to provide health education that improves the well-being of the communities we serve. We are an organization to whom you can turn to provide education, support and inspiration for healthier communities. GSAHEC’s tagline, Promoting Community Health through Partnerships & Education, speaks to the importance of partnerships in our work. We look forward to continued work in Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee and Sarasota counties for many years to come. Thank you for helping us fulfill our mission!
