As baby boomers age, their need for health care services increases. At the same time, physicians, nurses and other health care workers will reach retirement age. These trends, combined with other complicating factors, create a sever shortage of health care workers and services.
Within the crises lies the solution to the problem. One of the fastest growing career fields in the nation is health care. This means professional opportunities for the disadvantaged and minority populations we serve are abundant and accessible.
It is for this reason the Omaha AHEC exists- to service our community by building a pipeline of health care professionals who will meet our growing health care needs in the future.
