Our Vision
All children and adolescents are healthy and achieving at their fullest potential.
Our Mission
To improve the health status of children and youth by advancing and advocating for school-based health care.
Our Core Values
NASBHC believes that:
- Children and adolescents need high quality, accessible, culturally competent, comprehensive health care.
- The school setting is a sensible and appropriate place to deliver health care because that is where the students are.
- Ideally, the full scope of services is provided directly in a SBHC; alternative models may be dictated by resources and the needs of the community.
- SBHCs reduce health inequities and improve health outcomes for underserved youth.
- SBHCs should be fairly reimbursed for the high-quality health services they provide.
