Call to Action

Advocating for School Health Services: Call to Action

• The Colorado Alliance for School Health transforms how health care and education partners collaborate to create sustainable systems that result in health equity among all Colorado students.
• The Alliance was formed in 2016 with support from The Colorado Health Foundation. It will develop an innovative approach to identifying and responding to health needs of districts and schools

We know that physical and behavioral health plays an integral role in the success of all students. When students have access to healthcare, health resources and the check-ups they need, they are less likely to miss school and are able to be present and learn. Having school nurses, mental health providers and other health-related services connected to the school can help make a difference for our students.
