School-based health centers are a powerful approach for addressing
child and teen health problems. Research studies have shown SBHCs to:
- Improve access to care
- Reduce absenteeism from school
- Reduce the use of expensive emergency room care
- Improve immunization rates
Families benefit because:
- Parents miss less time from work due to reduced travel time
- Families are informed about low cost insurance alternatives
and the importance of preventive health care services
Schools and communities benefit:
- School-based health centers support the schools' educational
mission.
- Students appreciate services that are uniquely tailored to
meet their needs
- Students are in school and ready to learn
- Concerns
are addressed promptly
