toward rebuilding the declining healthcare workforce within an eleven

professionals and to bring healthcare career awareness to students
through interactive and educational programs. The Catskill Hudson AHEC
11-county region includes Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Greene, Orange,
Otsego, Putnam, Rockland, Schoharie, Sullivan and Ulster counties and is
home to 29 hospitals, serving a total regional population of over 1.5
million people.
