Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center has been awarded $2.5 million over the next three years from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to expand access to health care in West Texas with a health education and workforce development program.
Texas Tech will use the funding to expand the West Texas Area Health Education Center (AHEC) by creating four additional AHEC centers across West Texas. AHEC of the Plains was opened on June 13, 2002 in Plainview and was the first of its kind to address the critical shortage of health care providers in the western half of Texas.
