Our Movement
 At the National Assembly on School-Based Health Care (NASBHC) our work is driven by a vision – that all children and adolescents are healthy and achieving at their fullest potential. Everything we do, from the day-to-day operations to the big picture strategy, is informed by this shared idea of what school-based health centers (SBHCs) can help to achieve.
This vision has helped NASBHC to evolve from a pure technical assistance and training organization to an advocacy organization with members. We have done this by increasing internal resources directed at federal advocacy and policy, and building a federal policy agenda. With a formalized affiliate structure to guide the relationship between NASBHC and the states, the movement is the strongest it’s ever been.
What began as a marginal ‘cause’ is now a nationally-recognized movement with strong champions on the ground and in Congress. Passion for SBHCs is growing just as quickly as the number of centers is increasing to meet the critical needs of children and adolescents nationwide.
