Wake Area Health Education Center

Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Wake AHEC wishes everyone a safe and reflective Memorial Day.

Happy National Hospital Week!
This week, we proudly celebrate the hospitals and healthcare professionals who show up every day with skill, compassion, and unwavering dedication. From the front lines of patient care to the teams behind the scenes, your commitment makes a lasting difference in the lives of so many.
At Wake AHEC, we are honored to support your work by helping teams stay prepared, confident, and equipped to deliver safe, high‑quality care. Thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey—and for all that you do for your patients and communities.

It’s National Nurses Week! Thank you for all that you do.

💚 May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚
Caring for others starts with caring for ourselves. Healthcare professionals face unique pressures, and prioritizing mental well-being is not a luxury—it’s essential to providing safe, compassionate care.
At Wake AHEC, we believe continuing education should support the whole professional. That means promoting knowledge, resilience, and evidence-based practices that strengthen both clinical skills and mental health.
This month, we encourage you to pause, reflect, and reach out—for learning, support, or connection. Your well-being matters. Please visit us at https://www.wakeahec.org/mental.htm to see what programs we are currently offering.

Happy Administrative Professionals day to our Project Coordinators and all the healthcare administrators who make everything move smoothly!

April is Occupational Therapy month! We at Wake AHEC are so grateful to the healthcare professionals that make it possible for us to return to activities of daily living after a medical emergency. If you are an Occupational Therapist looking for continuing education credits please visit us at https://www.wakeahec.org/allied.htm to see what we are currently offering!
