Celebrating all of the great work our network of almost 300 AHECs around the U.S. have been doing for over 50 years to fill in the healthcare gaps through collaborations with academic, clinical, government and nonprofit partners. Most of these AHECs are independent 501c3 nonprofit organizations which require community members to step up and serve as board members.

On behalf of the Centennial AHEC staff and communities our mission serves, THANK YOU to our board members who help guide, manage and promote our work by giving their time, talent and treasure!

EXTENDED SURVEY CLOSING DATE: The prioritization survey closing date has been extended to Wednesday, April 1, 11:59pm MT!

The Region 4 Opioid Abatement Council has made huge strides in increasing access to needed services across the region! The Council would like to hear from you, community members of Region 4, in the 2026 Opioid Abatement Prioritization Survey. The survey asks about existing services in the community and for your perspectives on how opioid abatement funding should be used to build a stronger system of care across the region. Survey responses will be utilized by the Council to inform upcoming funding decisions and opportunities.

The survey is open to all residents in Colorado's Region 4, and takes just 5-15 minutes to complete. While there is no financial compensation for responding, all responses go towards building a stronger and more resilient Region 4! The survey will close April 1, 11:59pm MT.

To access the survey, please use the QR code included on this post or type the web address into your browser. We would love your support in reaching as many Region 4 residents as possible, so please share the survey in your communities. Every voice counts in this effort!

For any questions or support on this survey, email reg4support@omni.org

Thank you for your participation in this important survey and for all of the work that you do to improve the region!
