The health care landscape is ever-changing—and we help practices keep up. Over 1,300 practices across North Carolina are supported by NC AHEC Practice Support coaches—experts who provide tailored guidance on a wide range of critical topics. In a recent survey, 100% of respondents said they would recommend the service to other providers.

One practice in Wake County said “Our AHEC coach is incredibly proactive, helpful, and guides us to seek the best solutions for our practice. She understands the challenges of an independent medical practice and provides practical, relevant guidance and information. We would not have been able to get the CoCM capacity-building grant or the NCHIE Social Needs Pilot grant without her support.”
