Visit the 2025 Coosa Valley Fair and check out Blue Ridge AHEC's Health Display Exhibit! Stacey Mullis, our Health Education Coordinator, created a fun scene to educate about the need for more healthcare professionals and provide education requirements for each career. Visitors to the fair can scan a QR code in the display to access the 2025-2027 Health Careers in Georgia manual, which profiles over 80 careers, along with training programs and financial aid opportunities for each.

Requirements for the displays were very strict, but Blue Ridge AHEC exceeded expectations and brought home the Blue Ribbon!!!
