Our history

The Federal AHEC Program began in the early 70's and the Louisiana AHEC was activated in 1988 through a grant written by Louisiana State University Medical Center. Index Page.

The Louisiana AHEC system began operation in 1988 through the efforts of the LSU School of Medicine which petitioned the federal government for funding. Four centers across the state were opened on a staggered basis with Southeast Louisiana beginning in 1989. The Louisiana Centers have all completed their six year cycles of federal funding and are now supported through cooperative agreements with the LSU School of Medicine.
