In 1971, Congress funded the development of the AHEC system as a national strategy to improve the supply, distribution, retention, and quality of primary care and other health practitioners in medically under-served areas.
On July 1, 1974, Greensboro AHEC was founded at Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital through an affiliation with the University of North Carolina School of Medicine serving six counties (Alamance, Caswell, Guilford, Randolph, Rockingham, and Montgomery). Leonard James Rabold, MD, was appointed the first director on November 1, 1974.
Greensboro AHEC is located on the campus of The Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro, North Carolina.
