Success at My Success Event 2026

Sometimes the biggest impact starts with a simple game.

At this year's My Success Event, more than 450 students participated in AHEC Bingo, encouraging them to explore booths, meet professionals, and learn about opportunities they may have otherwise missed.

One student later returned to our booth with a message we'll never forget: "I never would have stopped at some of those booths if it wasn't for Bingo... and now I think I want to be an EMT."

That single conversation captures exactly why we do this work.

AHEC exists to help students discover possibilities, explore healthcare careers, and gain confidence in their future. We are grateful for our team, partners, and many volunteers who helped make meaningful connections with nearly 2,000 students throughout the event.

We'd call that a success all around.

See you at the next event! 💙

What an incredible honor it was to celebrate Janice Neumann last night as she was nominated for the Mosaic Life Care Excellence in Life Care Award. 💙

As the AHEC Director, I have the privilege of seeing firsthand the impact Janice has had on medical education and on the students, providers, and colleagues she has supported throughout her 19 years of dedication to coordinating medical education.

Janice is so much more than a coordinator. She is someone who shows up, finds a way, builds relationships, solves problems, and genuinely cares about the people she serves. Her work often happens behind the scenes, but the impact of that work is felt throughout our healthcare community every single day.

She is the true definition of Powered by Purpose. Her passion for medical education, her commitment to our future healthcare workforce, and the heart she brings to everything she does are what make her so deserving of this recognition.

Janice, it was such an honor to celebrate YOU last night. I am incredibly grateful to work alongside you and even more grateful for the difference you make in the lives of so many. Congratulations on this well-deserved nomination! 💙✨

19 years of dedication. Countless lives impacted. A legacy of purpose.
