The South Central AHEC collaborates with area school districts, college, universities and regional community based partners to increase the capacity of

the communities to address the unmet and disparate health needs of their citizens through educational intervention.

This year marked the 15th anniversary of our Public Health Camp in partnership with UTHealth Houston School of Public Health, UT Health San Antonio - Institute for Integration of Medicine and Science, and what an incredible week it was! Over the past 15 years, we’ve had the privilege of introducing high school students across South Texas to careers in public health and healthcare while helping them build leadership, communication, teamwork, and life skills that will serve them for years to come.

Watching students reflect on what they learned and seeing their confidence grow is a powerful reminder of why this program matters.

To our valued community partners, speakers, volunteers, and sponsors: Thank you for sharing your time, expertise, and passion with our students. Your partnership and commitment have been instrumental in making this milestone year a meaningful and memorable experience.
