Mission & Overview

 

Teen in library photoThe Illinois Coalition for School Health Centers strives to improve the physical and mental health of children and adolescents in Illinois by fostering the development, stabilization and expansion of school health centers. ICSHC represents institutions and individuals who support, receive and provide health care in schools and school-linked programs. We provide leadership, resources, training and technical assistance to enable school health centers to deliver high quality services, become financially stable and play an active role in public policy. We advocate for local, state and national policies and funding to integrate school health centers into health and education systems. Under our leadership, the school health center model has expanded across Illinois helping to keep students healthy and ready to learn.
