For School Based Health Centers
School Based Health Centers (SBHCs) are located directly in a school to provide that school’s students with primary medical, social, mental health, and health education services designed to meet the psychosocial and physical needs of children and youth within the context of the family, culture, and environment. We can help guide your SBHC in delivering quality asthma care, expanding asthma self-management education, and coordinating student referrals to home-based asthma services.
