The mission of the PA-DEL AHEC program is to help communities meet their primary
health care needs by creating a statewide infrastructure bridging community and
academic resources in order to:

  • Facilitate the recruitment and retention of primary care providers in underserved communities through educational and training programs

  • Develop an information and communication network to provide consultation, technical assistance, education and other professional support for community-based primary care practitioners

  • Increase the number of individuals from minority and underserved communities and populations who enter primary care and allied health professions

  • Evaluate and assess the public health needs of communities within and among the regions and provide innovative, multi-disciplinary responses to those needs
