This fall, join colleagues from across the field for an opportunity to explore practical tools and evidence-informed approaches for engaging fathers in meaningful and accountable ways. Northwest AHEC and the [NCPAT Conference - Tools and Strategies to Work with Fathers in DV Offender Programs](https://northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/courses-and-events/78973) invite professionals to participate in a live webinar on **October 30, 2026**, featuring nationally recognized expert Juan Carlos Areán, Ph.D. ## Why Attend? ![1561062887-ncpatlogowide-lg](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/1561062887-ncpatlogowide-lg.jpg?width=300&height=179&name=1561062887-ncpatlogowide-lg.jpg)For many men who use intimate partner violence, fatherhood can be a powerful motivator for seeking help and making lasting changes. This workshop will examine how intervention programs can thoughtfully integrate parenting and fatherhood into their work while maintaining a strong focus on survivor safety, child well-being, and offender accountability. Participants will gain practical strategies to: - Describe the effects of domestic violence on children, parenting, co-parenting relationships, and fathers' ability to provide safe, nurturing care. - Explain how fatherhood can serve as a meaningful motivator for accountability and behavior change while maintaining a clear focus on survivor and child safety. - Identify opportunities to integrate parenting and fatherhood throughout DVIP’s curricula without minimizing abusive behavior or shifting responsibility onto survivors. - Apply practical engagement and facilitation strategies that help fathers examine the impact of their behavior on their children, strengthen empathy, and increase accountability. - Use child-centered and survivor-informed tools to support behavior change, including strategies that promote healthy parenting, emotional regulation, and repair where appropriate. - Develop approaches for collaborating with child welfare agencies, fatherhood programs, victim advocates, and other community partners to support coordinated, family-centered responses to domestic violence. ## Learn from a National Leader The conference presenter, Juan Carlos Areán, Ph.D., serves as Program Director with the Children and Youth Team at Futures Without Violence. For more than three decades, he has worked nationally and internationally to engage men in becoming better fathers, partners, and allies in efforts to end domestic violence and sexual assault. His expertise brings a unique perspective on how fatherhood can be leveraged as a pathway to positive change without minimizing abuse or shifting responsibility away from those who have caused harm.  ## Event Details **NCPAT Conference - Tools and Strategies to Work with Fathers in DV Offender Programs** 📅 October 30, 2026 🕘 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. ET 💻 Live Webinar - [REGISTER HERE](https://northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/courses-and-events/78973) Whether you are a domestic violence intervention provider, counselor, social worker, advocate, or other professional working with individuals and families impacted by abuse, this workshop offers practical, actionable tools you can apply in your work immediately.  ### Register Today Join professionals from across North Carolina and beyond for this important learning opportunity and leave with new strategies to strengthen accountability, support safer families, and improve outcomes for children. **Register now:** [https://northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/courses-and-events/78973](https://northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/courses-and-events/78973)   [![VIEW FULL NWAHEC COURSE CATALOG](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7413846/interactive-184495494548.png)](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLKiQ78mmGrinkq%2FpaGT3A8xqsGNxFBo49A8t79Fu1QtQZSigy%2BCKk9yHLmevaNN1pQdiC8LnkgK0wa3siaIvbgxZ4Za5giVXi%2FvuoPBBt%2BiaaLWShKrrgWxepXSt5KjluXKf2pK9S35BEruq7F4IDj3EowxF4iWdAdoUpU3Z%2F669L8FrQl3%2BZhVQ0LGfypmKHRJGk6IVxUVGFhwhGCqRpyRyYC5lGBfE6OV0WgSuQoo&webInteractiveContentId=184495494548&portalId=7413846) [Read More](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/ncpat2026) ## [September is Healthy Aging Month: Supporting Healthy Aging Across North Carolina](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/september-aging) Sep 17, 2026, 9:59:59 AM / by [Brooke Kochanski](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/author/brooke-kochanski) posted in [Geriatric](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/geriatric), [aging](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/aging), [Adult health](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/adult-health) [0 Comments](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/september-aging#comments-listing) ![1788529854-adobestock169974698-lg](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/1788529854-adobestock169974698-lg.jpeg?width=300&height=200&name=1788529854-adobestock169974698-lg.jpeg)September is **Healthy Aging Month**, a time to recognize the importance of helping older adults maintain their health, independence, and quality of life.

As a Senior Quality Improvement Specialist at Northwest AHEC, she has partnered with practices through quality improvement initiatives, MIPS reporting, PCMH recognition, electronic health record (EHR) implementations, and coding and billing improvements, serving as a trusted resource during some of healthcare's most challenging transitions.  Medina's Supervisor; Christopher Jones, DrPH, MHA; recalls *"Medina joined our team with so much knowledge from working as a practice manager and Certified Professional Coder she began transforming practices into more efficient and effective care centers right away. Medina has maintained her certifications and added a Master's degree in Business Administration, NCQA's Patient Centered Medical home certifications, Team STEPPS Master Trainer Credentials and Results Based Accountability trainer.  Medina is curious and resourceful and builds lasting relationships with the practices she assists. She is always early to the meeting and offers great advice.  I have enjoyed getting to know Medina over the years.  She has a great sense of humor and an adventuresome spirit!"* Reflecting on her career at Northwest AHEC, Medina says her proudest accomplishment is seeing the lasting impact those efforts have had on practices and the patients they serve. *"Seeing practices achieve their goals, improve patient outcomes, and become more efficient because of the support and guidance our team provided has been incredibly rewarding,"* she said. *"I'm especially proud of being a trusted resource for practices and contributing to Northwest AHEC's mission of strengthening healthcare delivery in our communities."* That mission is what attracted Medina to Northwest AHEC in the first place. The opportunity to support healthcare providers and help improve access to quality care across the region aligned with her passion for making a meaningful difference. Fifteen years later, that purpose continues to motivate her. *"What has kept me here is knowing that the work we do truly makes a difference,"* she said. *"Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to learn and help others succeed."* Among the many projects she has supported, helping practices transition to new EHR systems stands out as one of the most impactful experiences of her career. These conversions often bring uncertainty and disruption, but Medina found fulfillment in guiding teams through the process, helping optimize workflows, train staff, and maintain quality patient care along the way. *"Seeing a practice move from frustration and uncertainty to confidence and success reinforced the importance of the work we do and the support Northwest AHEC provides,"* she shared. Those successes have also created some of her favorite memories. Whether helping a practice achieve PCMH recognition, complete a major EHR transition, or improve quality performance measures, Medina values celebrating the milestones that come after months of hard work and collaboration. That collaborative spirit is something she appreciates not only in the practices she serves, but also among her Northwest AHEC colleagues. She describes her team as one that willingly shares knowledge, supports one another, and brings diverse strengths and experiences to every challenge. Throughout her career, Medina credits her success to adaptability, relationship-building, and a commitment to lifelong learning. In an industry that is constantly evolving, she believes staying informed, communicating clearly, and focusing on practical solutions are essential to helping others succeed. In fact, while many people associate her work with quality metrics, regulations, coding, billing, and technology, Medina says the most rewarding aspect of her role is much simpler. *"What I enjoy most is building relationships,"* she said. *"The part I value most is connecting with people and helping practices overcome challenges and succeed."* As she celebrates 15 years with Northwest AHEC, Medina's dedication to supporting healthcare professionals, improving patient care, and building meaningful relationships continues to make a lasting impact throughout the region. **Congratulations, Medina, and thank you for 15 years of service, expertise, and commitment to Northwest AHEC's mission.**     [Read More](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/medina15yrs) ## [Join Us Next Month for the 3rd Annual The Dowd Foundation Center for Cardio-Oncology Symposium](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/join-us-next-month-for-the-3rd-annual-the-dowd-foundation-center-for-cardio-oncology-symposium) Sep 7, 2026, 10:45:00 AM / by [Brooke Kochanski](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/author/brooke-kochanski) posted in [cancer](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/cancer), [oncology](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/oncology) [0 Comments](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/join-us-next-month-for-the-3rd-annual-the-dowd-foundation-center-for-cardio-oncology-symposium#comments-listing) **![1781544328-cardio-onc2026bannerv7-lg](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/1781544328-cardio-onc2026bannerv7-lg.jpg?width=1085&height=130&name=1781544328-cardio-onc2026bannerv7-lg.jpg)** **Saturday October 17, 2026** **8:00AM - 4:05PM** Attend In Person or Virtually Sandra and Leon Levine Auditorium 1237 Harding Place, KMBO1, Suite 5300 Charlotte, NC   As cancer therapies continue to evolve, clinicians face new challenges in managing cardiovascular health throughout the cancer care continuum.

I learned and saw so much. I would recommend this experience to anyone interested in healthcare.” Over the course of the week, students participated in a variety of healthcare related events and activities, including job shadowing, learning assessment skills like manual blood pressures and identifying different lung sounds, learning how to use an EpiPen and hearing presentations from department leaders on Rehabilitation Services, Respiratory, Oncology and Surgical Services. They also became certified in a “Stop the Bleed” trauma course. ![6a8711433e1ba.image](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/6a8711433e1ba.image.jpg?width=600&height=295&name=6a8711433e1ba.image.jpg)Additionally, students enjoyed learning more about emergency medicine services while touring an ambulance and helicopter during visits with Ashe Medics and AirCare. They also traveled to Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist in Winston-Salem to learn all about the different aspects of pathology. “Camp Med is wonderful opportunity to expose local students to the vast opportunities in the world of healthcare, said Angel Gouge, education manager for Ashe Memorial Hospital. “Our Camp Med Summer Program at Ashe Memorial Hospital allows students to begin to discover if this is the career path for them. These students get some well-rounded exposure to all avenues of healthcare, including how to care for patients with compassion and purpose.“ We often have students who enjoy their experience so much that they return summer after summer through their high school years, and we have seen many go on to college in pursuit of a healthcare career because of the experiences they got from Camp Med,” Gouge added. “We couldn’t be prouder of our local young generation as they forge their paths in healthcare.” ![6a8711430a983.image](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/6a8711430a983.image.jpg?width=300&height=207&name=6a8711430a983.image.jpg)Through the Camp Med Summer Program, students are able to engage in discussions, gain valuable knowledge and skills and network with healthcare professionals in the hopes of discovering whether or not they may want to pursue a career in the healthcare field in the future. The application process for Ashe Memorial Hospital’s Camp Med Summer Program typically begins in late February and runs through the end of March.  The Camp Med Summer Program is an annual weeklong experience provided by the Northwest Area Health Education Center (AHEC), a program of Wake Forest School of Medicine and part of the NC AHEC System. The camp is open to all high school students and is designed particularly for those who have an interest in a career in the health sciences.  [Learn more about Camp Med](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/campmed) [Read More](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/campmedashememorial) ## [Celebrating Community Health Worker Awareness Week 2026](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/celebrating-community-health-worker-awareness-week-2026) Aug 25, 2026, 2:44:54 PM / by [NW AHEC](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/author/nw-ahec) posted in [CHW](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/chw), [Community Health Worker](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/community-health-worker) [0 Comments](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/celebrating-community-health-worker-awareness-week-2026#comments-listing) **August 24-28, 2026** ![CHW](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/CHW.png?width=300&height=232&name=CHW.png)Community Health Worker Awareness Week is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the dedicated professionals who serve as trusted voices, advocates, and connectors within our communities. At Northwest Area Health Education Center (Northwest AHEC), we are proud to join partners across North Carolina in honoring the vital contributions of Community Health Workers (CHWs) and the positive impact they make every day. Community Health Workers play a unique and essential role in improving health outcomes and strengthening communities. Whether employed by healthcare organizations, public health agencies, community-based organizations, or social service programs, CHWs help individuals and families navigate complex systems, access needed resources, and overcome barriers to care. From connecting patients with healthcare services and providing health education to supporting care coordination and addressing social drivers of health such as housing, transportation, and food security, CHWs are often the bridge between healthcare systems and the communities they serve. Their lived experiences, cultural understanding, and deep community connections help build trust and create meaningful relationships that support improved health and well-being. As healthcare organizations continue to focus on whole-person care, the value of Community Health Workers has become increasingly evident. CHWs help foster engagement, improve communication, support prevention efforts, and contribute to healthier outcomes for individuals and families throughout North Carolina. Their work advances health equity and ensures that more people have the support they need to achieve their best possible health. Northwest AHEC is committed to supporting the Community Health Worker workforce through education, training, and collaboration. Through the NC AHEC Community Health Worker Program, individuals have access to professional development opportunities, technical assistance, and resources designed to strengthen and sustain this important workforce. During Community Health Worker Awareness Week, we encourage healthcare professionals, organizations, and community members to take a moment to recognize the dedication, compassion, and expertise of CHWs. Their contributions often happen behind the scenes, but their impact is felt every day in communities across our region and throughout the state. ### Learn More To learn more about Community Health Workers and available resources, visit: - **NC AHEC Community Health Worker Program:** [https://www.ncahec.net/chw/](https://www.ncahec.net/chw/) - **North Carolina Community Health Worker Association (NCCHWA):** [https://ncchwa.org](https://ncchwa.org) - **National Association of Community Health Workers (NACHW):** [https://nachw.org](https://nachw.org) As we celebrate Community Health Worker Awareness Week 2026, Northwest AHEC extends its sincere gratitude to all Community Health Workers for their unwavering commitment to improving the health and well-being of North Carolinians. Thank you for the difference you make in the lives of individuals, families, and communities every day. *Happy Community Health Worker Awareness Week from Northwest AHEC!*   [Read More](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/celebrating-community-health-worker-awareness-week-2026) [All posts](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/all) [Next](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/page/2) ### Subscribe to Email Updates -
