  Call to Action: Reimbursements for School Health Centers  
 

THANK YOU to everyone who reached out to California 's U.S. Senators urging them to cosponsor S. 1043, the Health Schools act of 2009. Senator Barbara Boxer got our message and has signed on! We still need to work on Senator Dianne Feinstein. The bill would allow school health centers to receive the reimbursement they need and deserve for providing health and mental health services to children and youth enrolled in Medicaid and SCHIP. See our Policy page for more information and important links to contacting Senator Feinstein.

 
     
  School Health Centers and Obesity Prevention  
  CSHC recently completed a new obesity policy brief that presents evidence for the effectiveness of school-based interventions to promote nutrition and fitness and reduce obesity. We would like to send copies to anyone who can use them or distribute them. Please contact Dara Tom at dtom@schoolhealthcenters.org or at 510-808-4079, to request paper copies or follow the link above to see a PDF copy.  
     
  New Tools for School Health Centers  
 
We have greatly expanded our Tools for School Health Centers web pages. These are a comprehensive set of resources designed for school health centers (in any stage of development) and for schools/communities that are trying to start a school health center. If you're starting from scratch, looking for funding to maintain services, or growing new services, this is the place to find out how to proceed.
