On Friday, August 28, 2026, Northeast AHEC welcomed more than 200 nursing professionals, students, and local health resource representatives from across our 17-county service region for the 3rd Annual Regional Nursing Summit.

Throughout the day, attendees heard from speakers on a variety of important topics impacting the nursing profession. Sessions focused on recovery and relapse prevention, the role of the SANE nurse and improving care for patients who have experienced sexual assault, and preventative health strategies and early detection across the lifespan. The summit also featured keynote speaker Tena Barnes Carraher, co-founder and vice president of marketing and communications for the DAISY Foundation, who shared the impact that meaningful recognition can have on nurses.

In addition to the speaker sessions, attendees had the opportunity to connect with more than 15 organizations at resource tables offering career opportunities, continuing education information, and valuable community resources.

The 3rd Annual Regional Nursing Summit was a great day of learning, connection, and conversation for those involved in the nursing profession. Thank you to everyone who attended, presented, and supported the event, and we are already looking forward to another successful Nursing Summit in Fall 2027!

Last night, Northeast Kentucky AHEC hosted our annual Rural Health Scholars Program Celebratory Banquet, recognizing our high school juniors, seniors, and recent graduates for their dedication and accomplishments throughout the program.

Students and their guests also heard from third-year KYCOM medical students Macen Witt and Anna Armstrong, who shared their inspiring journeys into health care and passion for serving rural Kentucky. Their stories encouraged our scholars as they continue pursuing careers that will make a difference in their communities.

We’re excited for another year of programming, connecting our scholars to various health careers, and can’t wait to see what our graduates accomplish!

It’s been a busy and rewarding few weeks at Northeast AHEC as we wrapped up two successful CHASE camps, reaching a total of 30 high school students!

Our first camp of the summer was held June 4–5 in Clark County in partnership with Centerpoint Health. Students explored a variety of healthcare careers through hospital tours, hands-on activities such as suturing, blood typing, and dissection, and a special visit from the AirEvac team, who flew in for a helicopter tour. We are especially grateful to begin this new partnership with Centerpoint Health and look forward to collaborating together more!

Our second camp took place June 11–12 in Mason County in partnership with PrimaryPlus. Students participated in hands-on healthcare activities, connected with healthcare professionals, toured PrimaryPlus facilities, explored career pathways, and gained valuable insight into the many opportunities available in the healthcare field. We are thankful for PrimaryPlus’s continued partnership and commitment to providing meaningful experiences for students in our region.
