Northwest Missouri AHEC

02/25/2026

The NWMO AHEC team, alongside University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Medicine–St. Joseph medical student Lauren Corbin, met with key legislators today to advocate for sustained support in healthcare workforce development. We emphasized the need in continuing to strengthen rural training pathways and support programs that address healthcare shortages across Northwest Missouri.
Building and retaining a strong rural healthcare workforce requires intentional policy support and continued collaboration. We are committed to ensuring our communities have access to the care they deserve.
