Call Directions Website

The mission of Florida Keys AHEC is to provide direct medical, community health, and educational services through community-based partnerships.

Vision Statement: To improve access to affordable medical services and health programs. Keys AHEC (Florida Keys Area Health Education Center, Inc)

Keys AHEC is a non-profit organization based in Monroe County, FL that provides no cost medical and low cost dental care to the students of Monroe County School District. Collectively both programs provide over 10,000 patient visits and 72,000 services annually. Most families we serve are from low to moderate income homes where affordable healthcare is not available to them. Keys AHEC is dedicated to ensuring these children have access to quality healthcare. Along with our medical and dental clinics, we also provide health professional education and support, tobacco cessation and community health programs addressing local health care issues. The Florida AHEC Network has, over this past decade, addressed the primary health care needs of Florida's most vulnerable populations through a series of innovative strategies designed to:

Extend Academic Health Resources
Provide Information and Support for Community Providers
Influence Health Professions Education
Influence the Future Health Professional Work Force

THANK YOU Community Foundation of the Florida Keys !
For many Keys families, dental care is hard to afford when you combine the cost of the visit with the cost of missing work to take a child to an appointment that may be hours away.

In a recent Keys AHEC annual report, one mother described waiting more than a year to get dental care for her daughters because of cost and distance. Her thanks to the team: “You all are dental angels.”

Today, Keys Kids Health Centers (A Keys AHEC program) is bringing affordable dental care right to the kids. A $30,000 In Paradise for Good grant helped support a dentist and dental hygienist whose work reached 1,528 Monroe County children during the grant period. Nearly all were uninsured or enrolled in Medicaid.

Through a mobile dental unit visiting schools across the Keys and dental centers in Marathon and at Horace O’Bryant School, children receive preventive care and treatment, including fillings. Families have somewhere to turn before a small dental problem becomes a painful and costly emergency.

MONROE COUNTY PROCLAIMS OCTOBER AS KEYS KIDS HEALTH MONTH

MONROE COUNTY, FL – The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners proclaimed October 2026 as Keys Kids Health Month, alongside Keys Kids Health Centers and Keys Area Health Education Center (AHEC), to raise awareness of the importance of children's health, preventive healthcare, and dental hygiene throughout the Florida Keys.

The proclamation highlights the importance of regular medical and dental checkups, healthy habits, and early intervention in helping children grow, learn, and thrive.

For more than a decade, Keys AHEC's Keys Kids Health Centers program has provided essential medical and dental services to children throughout Monroe County through school-based healthcare programs. By bringing healthcare services directly to schools, the program helps remove barriers to care and makes preventive and comprehensive health services more accessible to local students and families.

"Healthy children are the foundation of a healthy community," said Monroe County Mayor Michelle Lincoln. "By recognizing Keys Kids Health Month, we want to remind families of the importance of preventive care and thank the dedicated healthcare professionals who work every day to support the health and well-being of our children."
