Southern KY AHEC is at Whitley County High School all day with Mrs. DeeDee Bishop’s health science classes.

Students are learning how AHEC can be a resource for them throughout high school and college, exploring our pipeline programs, and getting hands-on experience with an introductory suturing activity.

We’re excited to connect with these students and help them explore the many opportunities available to them in healthcare!
