Our Team

Our team of talented professionals is focused on developing data-driven strategy and fostering collaboration to strengthen North Carolina’s health workforce.

About the Center

The NC Center on the Workforce for Health builds out of a partnership developed in 2021 between NC AHEC, NC Institute of Medicine, and the Sheps Center for Health Services Research. The founding organizations shared a vision of a collaborative home for coordinating persistent action to address North Carolina’s pervasive health workforce shortages and maldistribution. By 2023, NC AHEC was awarded grant funds to operationalize the Center, which hired its first director in February 2024.
