1 . Around 3, 000 school-based health centers, which are often partnerships between school districts and local community health organizations and hospitals, bring services to children who need them most and who have the greatest risk of falling behind in school because their health needs aren’t satisfied.

Delivering health care through schools has been shown to improve kids’ physical well-being and educational outcomes. A 2005 study in the Journal of Adolescent Health found that after health centers opened in U. S. public schools, their students’ risk of asthma (哮喘) went down 2.4-fold, and their trips to the emergency room for asthma decreased by 33. 5 percent. Other studies have shown that clinics in schools can increase vaccination rates among students and reduce mental health problems. On the education front, kids who use such centers have improved attendance and grades, are more likely to be promoted to the next grade and are overall more prepared for college. Based on all of this evidence, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) recently recommended school-based health centers as a key strategy to advance health equity—that is, to reduce the access differences that exist between wealthier populations and everyone else.

Yet most school communities that could desperately use such clinics lack them. In 2021 Congress gave $5 million to support new and expanded services at school-based health centers. That money funded 25 facilities一yet the program got more-than 300 applications. And fewer than half of U. S. states currently fund school health centers. The clinics still need stable funding for operating expenses, including hiring well-trained staff.

Getting kids the care they need has always made sense, and it’s more urgent than ever. The time is right to expand school-based health centers to all under-served students.
