The Southwest Idaho AHEC, formerly Idaho AHEC, has been enhancing Idaho’s healthcare workforce and community health in rural and under-served areas by partnering with educational institutions and state, regional, and national primary care proponents for 30 years. In September 2017, two new AHEC centers were funded, greatly expanding AHEC’s reach in Idaho. The Southwest Idaho AHEC service area now includes Adams, Canyon, Gem, Owyhee, Payette, Washington, Ada, Boise, Elmore, and Valley Counties.
