Upstate AHEC Announces Departure of Fay Brown, Opens Executive Director Position

Upstate AHEC Executive Director Fay Brown will be stepping down this spring after nearly five years of service to the AHEC system.  During her time as executive director, Fay has guided Upstate AHEC to many notable accomplishments.

 Although the introduction of online continuing education capability was initiated by Candace Luciano, the former Upstate AHEC Center Director, Fay shepherded an era of unprecedented access through the AHEC U platform to quality online enduring professional development opportunities. AHEC U saw a 35 percent increase in participation during this past year alone.


Fay was also instrumental in designing and overseeing the acquisition of the new Upstate AHEC office building and its state-of-the-art classroom. She also facilitated the involvement of the South Carolina AHEC in the introduction and implementation of the DHHS-sponsored Community Health Worker Program.

Fay and her husband will be returning to her hometown of Nashville so they can be closer to their daughter and her family. Fay has been an integral member of our South Carolina AHEC family and will be missed!
