Our service area is bordered by the
Chattahoochee, Flint and Ocmulgee Rivers.
The mountains start here. The land ends here too. Georgia is a state of variety and contrast.
The people who live here are as diverse as the landscape, and each one deserves access to quality health care.
Three Rivers AHEC is a community-driven, non-profit organization and through our vision, mission, values and guiding
principles, we assist our communities in “growing their own” health care professionals to meet their health care needs.
Since 1994, we have served 28 counties in west central Georgia from our headquarters in Columbus,
and our efforts place special emphasis on rural and underserved areas.
