2022 National School-Based Health Care Conference Highlights
June 27-30, 2022
This conference was an opportunity to connect with fellow health care professionals, education professionals, and advocates across the nation. More than 2,500 school-based health centers (SBHCs) nationwide deliver integrated, patient-centered care, screening for conditions like obesity and depression, and offering preventive services—all with a special focus on vulnerable children and adolescents. Conference attendees explored the innovative ways SBHCs serve their rural, urban, and suburban schools and communities by promoting wellness and health equity.
In addition to our plenary sessions that featured special invites and keynote speakers, the conference offered over 36 workshops with experts on various topics. There were also SBHC Resources, Tools, and Technical Assistance Sessions to highlight various resources and tools for the field. During one of these sessions, the School-Based Health Alliance summarized its Consulting Services developed during the last couple of years. Check out that recording in Session 4!
