School Health Center Awareness Month

 

Awareness Month provides the opportunity to advance our policy priorities to sustain school health centers and to build and expand relationships with our partners in our communities. Now is the time to build momentum by reaching out to elected officials, state and local leaders, and the general public about the importance of SHCs to Illinois' students and families. This year's Awareness Month will focus on 3 key activities:

 

1.)  Scheduling in-district meetings with state legislators

2.)  Presenting the school health center Power Point presentation to key leaders and organizations
3.) 
Prepare for Advocacy Day on April 9th in Springfield
