"I enjoyed Oral Health Dental Camp is because they had lectures and challenging assignments and there were actual hands-on research and education. It gave us a real sense of what it’s like to be a Dentist or to work in the dental field. We were given such an opportunity that I am still shocked I was able to experience the camp. I can’t wait to share all of the information with people I know." - Oral Health Dental Camp participant

This free five-day course allowed high school students in the Detroit area to get hands-on experience with dental careers and meet with mentors in the profession and even receive a free dental cleaning.

Representation matters—especially in mental healthcare. 💚

This National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, we recognize that a diverse mental health workforce helps build trust, improve communication, and deliver more culturally responsive care.

When more people from diverse backgrounds enter the mental health workforce, we move closer to care that reflects the experiences and needs of our communities.

A stronger healthcare workforce means healthier communities.

National Men's Health Month reminds us that improving health outcomes starts with access to trusted care.

Healthcare professionals play a vital role in encouraging preventive care, supporting mental health, and helping men navigate their healthcare journey.

We're committed to strengthening the healthcare workforce so every community has access to compassionate, high-quality care.

Together, we're building healthier communities—one patient, one provider, and one future healthcare professional at a time.

This Father’s Day, we celebrate fathers, father figures, and caregivers who make a difference in the lives of their families and communities every day. 💙

It’s also a reminder that men’s health matters.

Regular checkups, preventive care, and access to healthcare services can help detect health concerns early and improve long-term well-being. Yet many men face barriers to care, especially in rural and underserved communities.

At Southeast Regional Center, MI-AHEC, we are committed to strengthening the healthcare workforce and expanding access to quality care across Michigan, to help build healthier futures for fathers, families, and communities.

This Father’s Day, encourage the men in your life to prioritize their health—because healthy fathers help build healthy communities. 👨‍👧‍👦
