Celebrating School-Based
Health Care Awareness Month

This month - and all year long - we join many other organizations in celebrating School-Based Health Care Awareness Month. School-Based Healthcare Centers (SBHCs) exist at the intersection of education and health care access and have greatly expanded health care supports to our youth. We have highlighted resources for those that work at or with SBHCs.
