Kids bring their whole life to school with them… and it doesn’t fit in a locker.
• Every student faces life challenges that impact his or her ability to learn.
• Supporting kids and addressing health issues such as hunger, stress, harassment, substance use and unintended pregnancy can greatly improve their ability to learn.
There is a research-based link between students’
physical, social and emotional health and their
ability to learn…
Building Bridges Between SBHCs and Schools
Why Partner?
SBHCs And Other Health Professionals Partnering
With Schools
• “Our world and our nation have changed; so too have our schools. Today, more than ever, school health programs could become one of the most efficient means available to improve the health of our children and their educational achievement” (Kolbe,2005 p.226)
Schools Partnering With SBHCs
• “The best of teaching cannot always compete successfully with the challenges many students face outside of school” (Lee-Bayha & Harrison, 2002 p.1)

The Terri Story… Asthma
Social Health
Emotional Health
Implications on Learning
Terri has asthma. It is not under control and she misses many days of school because of it. She doesn’t really know what triggers her asthma, but she hardly ever participates in physical activity. Her grades are getting worse because of her absenteeism.

•Children in fair or poor health such as those with uncontrolled asthma were six times more likely to have a learning disability and be absent 11 or more days from school (Nationally)
Disrupted sleep caused by asthma contributes to poor school performance (Nationally)
Asthmatic children have higher rates of grade failure than non-asthmatics (Nationally)
• Asthma is more common in low-income and minority populations. These groups are also at risk for higher rates of fatalities, hospital admissions and emergency room visits. (Oregon)

Visioning Activity
• Education stakeholders ask: – Do school health programs detract from, or complement the
academic and social mission of schools?
• Advocates of school-related health programs ask:
– If our programs are unable to demonstrate their educational value, will they be able to sustain and expand their current place in the health care safety net?
Oregon’s Children
In Oregon, 12% or over 110,000 children are uninsured.
68% of SBHC clients reported that they would not have received health care without their SBHC
School-based health centers are staffed by licensed health professionals, and do not replace
the important work of school nurses.

Lake Research Partners Oregon Results
• The majority of voters consider all tested services with the exception of prescribing medication important.
• Health education around eating right and exercising, and counseling for kids with obesity and other eating problems, and mental health services, including grief therapy, peer pressure, bullying, and suicide prevention.
• Support also based on the belief that SBHCs would provide care to uninsured and underinsured children who would otherwise not receive services
• Support for mental health services is also high, with 80 percent of voters saying these are important services to provide
• Voters look with roughly equal numbers for stable funding from the federal government, insurance companies, and paying more in federal taxes to pay for these centers.
• Strongest messages “Provide Care”, “Smart Investment”, “Studies”, and “Disaster Support”
• Provide a solution to access barriers such as transportation, distance, and clinic hours inconvenient to parents
• Bring community resources to the student
• Support students, teachers, parents, administrators, and other health professionals by keeping children healthy and in school
• Aid in identifying health issues early in a safe environment
How can SBHCs aid in creating a continuum of care for Oregon’s youth?
