Wake Forest Baptist Family Medicine Residency Program
Jul 29, 2020 8:29:14 AM / by Brooke Kochanski
One of the primary reasons for establishing the North Carolina AHEC system in 1972 was to increase the number of primary care physicians trained in the state with a focus on placing graduates in underserved communities.
Funds are provided to each of the four medical schools and their primary care departments to expand the training of primary care residents, and to enhance the possibility that graduates will settle in the state. In the Northwest AHEC, these funds provide a stipend based upon the number of approved full time employees in the primary care department residency programs.
Leadership coach, motivational speaker, trainer, and columnist Nigel D. Alston sits down for a conversation about healthy communities, where we are, and how we can improve the health of our communities, especially impoverished minority communities.

That’s why yesterday, Governor Roy Cooper announced that coverings over their nose and mouth must be worn when people are in both indoor and outdoor public spaces. This step, in addition to encouraging people to stay six feet apart, wash hands, and stay home when ill, will help us
