Our work is supported financially by a variety of organizations and individuals; including the The Sisters of Saint Joseph Health and Wellness Foundation.

We believe…

• Children and adolescents have the right to quality, accessible, comprehensive health services.
• The school setting is a sensible, appropriate and valuable site to deliver care.
• School success and good health are linked. Community health and education partners are key to student success.
• Interdisciplinary health care includes a range of services that emphasize prevention and early intervention.

Mission: To advance comprehensive health care in school settings through responsive policies, practices and partnerships.
Long-Term Directions

• To provide a unified voice for school-based health care through a diverse, statewide membership base of school-health providers, supporters, and strategic partners.
• To assume a leadership role in addressing the long-term financing and sustainability of school-based health centers and services through both public and private funding, and development of measurable outcomes of success.
• To ensure that awareness and understanding of school-based health services and centers exists among policy makers, school personnel, parents, youth, and providers.
• To create a network for information exchange among members and interested stakeholders.
• To enhance the capacity of partners at the state and community levels to become proactive public policy advocates for school-based health care.
