Campaign for MedQuest is Launched!

Southern Vermont AHEC has begun fund raising for our MedQuest Health Careers Exploration Program. Our current funding sources can not keep pace with the number of youth who want to attend MedQuest, or the demand for health care positions in our communities, so we have started a Campaign to raise funds to support students who want to pursue careers in health care. 

Our goal is $60,000, and your donation is appreciated!  A donor form can be downloaded here, or contact Nancy Lanoue, Executive Director, for more information at nlanoue@svahec.org or 802-885-2126.
