## [Seeing Our Community More Clearly: Project SEE in Partnership with Northwest AHEC](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/projectsee)
Mar 25, 2026, 8:11:19 AM / by [Brooke Kochanski](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/author/brooke-kochanski) posted in [Community](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/community), [project see](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/project-see)
[7 Comments](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/projectsee#comments-listing)
Northwest AHEC is proud to partner with Wake Forest University School of Medicine (WFUSM) on two powerful community health initiatives: the **Share the Health Fair (STHF)** and its vision-focused spin-off, **Project SEE**. Together, these programs are making a meaningful difference by expanding access to essential preventive care—especially for individuals who may otherwise face barriers to services.
### A Legacy of Community Impact
Now celebrating its **20th year**, the WFUSM **Share the Health Fair** is a large annual event held at Downtown Health Plaza. Each year, the fair brings together **300+ medical students, residents, and faculty volunteers** to provide **more than 15 free health screenings**, along with navigation and follow-up support for participants who need ongoing care.
Building on the success and community need identified through the STHF, **Project SEE** was developed to focus specifically on **eye health**. Offered **multiple times throughout the year**, Project SEE provides free vision screenings, prescription glasses, and access to ophthalmology expertise—services that can be life-changing for many community members.
Both programs are **led by WFUSM medical students** and made possible through the dedicated support of:
- **Ms. Monica Brown**, Administrator and Executive at Downtown Health Plaza
- **Ms. Melanee Mills**, Northwest AHEC Health Careers Coordinator
- **Dr. Michael Lischke**, the Richard Janeway MD Distinguished Director of Northwest AHEC & STHF Faculty Advisor
Their leadership and collaboration help ensure these initiatives run smoothly and continue to serve as vital resources in our region.
### Strong Partnerships, Clear Vision
A key component of Project SEE’s success is its partnership with the **local Lions Club**, which generously donates prescription eyeglasses. WFUSM medical students take the lead in:
- Cleaning and repairing donated glasses
- Measuring and categorizing each pair
- Preparing them for distribution
All clinical activities are overseen by **WFUSM Ophthalmology faculty**, ensuring quality care and appropriate guidance. Glasses are then provided on-site to participants who are screened and identified as needing vision correction—often immediately improving quality of life.
### Project SEE by the Numbers
*(Tracking data since May 2025)*
- **255 total participants** received free vision screenings (239 adults / 16 children)
- **137 participants** received prescription glasses (88 adults / 10 children)
- **49 new adult vision screenings** were completed in February
- **19 new adult participants** had prescription glasses ordered in February
- **11 new adults** were referred for follow-up care in February
- **23 total participants** have been referred for follow-up care to date (21 adults / 2 children)
- **37 medical students** have been trained to date, including **6 new students trained in February**
These numbers reflect not only community need, but also the hands-on learning experience Project SEE provides for future physicians—combining service, clinical skill development, and community engagement.
### Join Us at the Next Project SEE Event
The next **Project SEE Eye Health Screening Event** will be held:
📅 **April 18**
⏰ **9:00 AM – 12:00 PM**
📍 **Downtown Health Plaza**
**Services Provided at No Cost:**
- Free eye health screenings
- Free prescription glasses (when available)
- Free consultation with an ophthalmologist
No insurance is required, and all community members are welcome.
---
Project SEE exemplifies what’s possible when academic institutions, community organizations, and passionate volunteers come together with a shared goal—**helping our neighbors see healthier futures**. Northwest AHEC is honored to support this work and looks forward to continuing these impactful partnerships for years to come.

## [Giving Back Again: Northwest AHEC’s Second Year at Ronald McDonald House](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/rmh2026)
Mar 24, 2026, 7:40:34 AM / by [Brooke Kochanski](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/author/brooke-kochanski) posted in [Community](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/community), [volunteering](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/volunteering), [staff development](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/staff-development)
[0 Comments](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/rmh2026#comments-listing)
At Northwest AHEC, service is an important part of who we are—not only in the work we do every day, but in the time we take to support our community together. Yesterday, Northwest AHEC staff gathered for the second year in a row to volunteer at [**Ronald McDonald House Charities® of the Piedmont Triad**](https://rmhcpt.org/), continuing a meaningful tradition of giving back while strengthening connections as a team.
### A Day of Service and Connection
Our staff once again rolled up our sleeves and focused their efforts on preparing lunches and baking homemade treats for families staying at the House—helping ensure families had one less thing to think about as they supported their children during medical care.
Just as impactful as the work itself was the opportunity to spend time together outside of our usual roles. Volunteering side by side allowed us to connect, collaborate, and reflect—reminding us of the power of teamwork and shared purpose.
### Why Ronald McDonald House Matters
Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Piedmont Triad provides a “home away from home” for families whose children are receiving medical care nearby. By offering a supportive environment, meals, and a place to rest, the House helps ease some of the burden families face so they can focus on what matters most—being there for their child.
Spending time in the House and learning more about its mission reinforced just how meaningful even small acts of service can be. Whether it was preparing food, tidying play areas, or simply helping maintain a warm and welcoming space, each contribution made a difference.
### Building on a Growing Tradition
Returning for a second year made this experience even more special. It was a chance to reflect on last year’s volunteer day and see how this opportunity has become a shared tradition for our team. Experiences like this strengthen our sense of community—not only with the organizations we support, but with one another.
We are grateful to Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Piedmont Triad for welcoming us back and for the vital work they do for families in our region.

## [Celebrating 34 Years of Service: Honoring Ellen Kesler’s Lasting Impact at Northwest AHEC](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/ellenkretires)
Mar 17, 2026, 8:29:59 AM / by [Nedra Edwards Hines, MHA, CDP](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/author/nedra-edwards-hines-mha-cdp)
[0 Comments](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/ellenkretires#comments-listing)
After 34 years of dedicated service, Northwest AHEC is preparing to say farewell to an extraordinary colleague and friend. At the end of this month, **Ellen Kesler, MLS, MPH, CPH**, Program Coordinator for Behavioral Health, will retire—leaving behind a legacy of leadership, collaboration, and deep commitment to behavioral and public health across our region and state.
Ellen has been a cornerstone of Northwest AHEC for more than three decades. Throughout her career, she has exemplified what it means to serve with purpose, compassion, and excellence. Her work has not only strengthened our organization but has also had a meaningful and lasting impact on providers, partners, and communities throughout North Carolina.
For the past **17 years**, Ellen has been the driving force behind the NC **One Community in Recovery Conference**, a signature conference that brings together providers, advocates, and individuals in recovery. Through her leadership, the event has become a powerful space for education, connection, and hope—supporting both those who deliver care and those with lived experience.
While the One Community in Recovery Conference stands as a hallmark of her work, Ellen’s impact reaches far beyond a single conference. Day in and day out, she has planned and managed a wide array of **behavioral health continuing education activities**, ensuring that professionals across disciplines have access to timely, relevant, and high-quality learning opportunities. Her programming has covered an impressive range of topics, including recovery, ethics, cognitive behavioral therapy, ADHD, suicide prevention, motivational interviewing, health coaching, health disparities, autism, and so much more.
Northwest AHEC’s strong network of behavioral health partners—both regionally and statewide—owes much to Ellen’s belief in the power of partnership and collaboration. Her genuine connections with colleagues and stakeholders have helped position Northwest AHEC as a trusted convener and collaborator. Ellen leads with respect, kindness, and an unwavering commitment to working together for the greater good.
As Ellen begins this next chapter, we reflect with gratitude on her **exceptional work ethic**, her **passion for behavioral and public health**, and her **heart for helping those in need**. Her contributions have shaped programs, strengthened partnerships, and improved lives—and her influence will continue to be felt long after her retirement.
**Thank you, Ellen, for 34 years of dedicated service to Northwest AHEC, the North Carolina AHEC Program, and the state of North Carolina.** You will be deeply missed, but we wish you a joyful, fulfilling, and well-deserved retirement. Your legacy is one we are proud to carry forward.

## [🩺 Future Health Professionals Week Spotlight: Confronting North Carolina’s Healthcare Workforce Crisis](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/future-health-prof-tues)
Mar 10, 2026, 12:14:59 PM / by [Brooke Kochanski](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/author/brooke-kochanski) posted in [Community Health Worker](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/community-health-worker), [talent pipeline](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/talent-pipeline), [health talent alliance](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/topic/health-talent-alliance)
[0 Comments](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/future-health-prof-tues#comments-listing)
Today, as part of **NC AHEC’s [Future Health Professionals Week](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/futurehealthprofweek)**, Northwest AHEC is shining a light on one of the most pressing issues affecting our state: the **critical shortage of healthcare workers**, especially in rural and underserved communities. This growing crisis touches all of us — our families, our neighbors, and the communities we serve every day.
---
## 🚨 A Statewide Healthcare Workforce Emergency
Across North Carolina, the shortage of healthcare professionals has reached a level that threatens access to timely, high‑quality care. A statewide report from September 2025 showed:
- Nearly **one‑third of all Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)** positions remain **unfilled**, stretching teams thin and limiting care options.
- **13% of Registered Nurse (RN)** roles are vacant, contributing to longer wait times and increased pressure on existing staff.
- By **2033**, North Carolina is projected to face a shortfall of **at least 12,500 RNs**, with the possibility of an even larger gap as burnout and early retirements accelerate.
These shortages are not theoretical — they affect daily operations in clinics, long-term care facilities, hospitals, home health, and community-based organizations.
---
## 📍 The Crisis Is Deeply Felt in the Northwest AHEC Region
Findings from the [**2025 Health Talent Alliance (HTA) Supply and Demand Profile**](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/hubfs/NW-AHEC-2025-HTA-Supply%20and%20Demand%20Profile.pdf)show that the gap between workforce supply and demand is particularly concerning in the Northwest AHEC region:
- The region must annually recruit or graduate **1,010 RNs**, yet only **690** new RNs enter the workforce — a **deficit of 320** each year.
- **LPN supply also falls short**, with demand for **220** LPNs annually but only **130** newly credentialed individuals — a deficit of **90**.
- **Churn rates** — the rate at which employees leave and must be replaced — are extremely high:
- **88% for LPNs**
- **115% for CNAs**
These numbers illustrate the instability employers face as they try to rebuild and retain their care teams.
Together, these indicators paint a picture of a workforce under strain — and the ripple effects can be seen throughout the region’s health systems.
---
## 🌟 Community Health Workers: A Critical Part of the Solution
As traditional healthcare roles grow harder to recruit and retain, **Community Health Workers (CHWs)** are emerging as essential connectors in the healthcare ecosystem.
CHWs support communities by:
- Bridging the gap between clinical care and everyday life
- Increasing health literacy and supporting chronic disease management
- Connecting individuals to social drivers of health, including housing, food access, and transportation
- Reducing preventable ER visits and hospital readmissions
Beyond their impact, the return on investment is substantial: **for every $1 invested in CHWs, there is an estimated $11.20 return** in improved outcomes and cost savings.
In a region where healthcare vacancies are mounting, CHWs strengthen access, reduce burdens on clinical teams, and help keep communities healthier.
---
## 🎓 Pathways to Becoming a Community Health Worker
If you or someone you know is exploring a meaningful career in healthcare — one that makes a direct and lasting difference in the community — the CHW pathway is a powerful place to start.

## 💙 Moving Forward Together
The workforce shortages facing North Carolina — and especially the Northwest AHEC region — require strong partnerships, innovative solutions, and continued investment across all parts of the healthcare pipeline. Community Health Workers are a vital part of this strategy, helping ensure that all communities, particularly those in rural and underserved areas, receive the care and support they need.
As we celebrate **Future Health Professionals Week**, we honor those who are stepping into these critical roles and shaping the future of healthcare across our region.
