The Southern Regional Information Access for Public Health Professionals Project brings together in partnership the Southern Regional AHEC (SR-AHEC) and the nine public health departments in the SR-AHEC region: Bladen, Cumberland, Harnett, Hoke, Moore, Richmond, Robeson, Sampson and Scotland. The purpose of the project is to ensure that public health professionals are connected to information resources that will help them design population-based interventions that best address health issues in their local communities.
