Join us for this event October 1st, 8:30am-4:30pm. We are offering virtual or in person options so you can choose what works best for you. Breast cancer represents a complicated family of diseases for which detection, diagnosis, and multimodal management strategies continually are evolving. Therefore, practice-focused education will enable you to integrate the highest-quality methodologies into the treatment of your patients. For 16 years, the multidisciplinary Annual Breast Cancer Symposium has met this educational need - bringing together surgical, medical, and radiation oncologists, as well as geneticists, radiologists, pathologists, and nurses - to improve the care for patients with breast cancer.

This activity will be VIRTUAL or IN PERSON, you choose what works best for you. Register today! In person option will be held at McCreary Tower (475 Deacon Blvd, Winston-Salem, NC) and Virtual option via Webex.

We’ve all been through a lot lately. As we continue to persevere, let’s remember to make mental health a priority. Problems with mental health are very common in the United States, with an estimated 50% of all Americans diagnosed with a mental illness or disorder at some point in their lifetime.

When searching for a way to give back to the community, Northwest AHEC did not have to look far for something where we could impact our local community. Senior Services of Forsyth County is located just across the street from our office location, at McCreary Tower, and they have a critical need for volunteers for the Meals-on-Wheels program.

With skill and compassion, these caregivers are an exceptional group of professionals that have the benefit of spending the greatest amount of time with the persons being served. Because they are typically the first to observe changes in status, they have potential to be the source of solutions to a majority of the challenges confronting most care settings. Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). Certified Medical Assistants (CMAs), Home Care Aides (HCAs) and Personal Support Staff and others are welcome!

We have some great activities planned upcoming. Most activities are still virtual learning with blended learning options. We have some IN PERSON activities coming up this Fall. See below some upcoming programs we've highlighted...and be sure to check out our Course Catalog to view all of the activities.

For 39 years the Gravidas at Risk Annual Perinatal Conference has been keeping attendees informed of the clinical issues and strategies important in the care of high-risk pregnant women. We had a very successful webinar last year for this activity and will hold this years conference via live webinar again. Holding webinars allows for better reach to our target audience and helps Health Department nurses obtain this critical information even on limited time and travel budget. 

Come and learn with us on August 25th 8:45AM-2:30PM Live Webinar. This activity will increase the ability of the nurse to perform a home visit for a new postpartum family, an emphasis will be placed on telehealth and virtual assessments. 

Thanks to WFMY News 2 for covering: "Camp Med gets teenagers interested in healthcare careers" Wake Forest School of Medicine and Northwest Area Health Education Center organize the event each year. This year, it's virtual.

This knowledge-based conference will provide Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) from different practice settings the information and strategies to maximize their important role on the health care team and enhance their professional practice.
