School Health


About Us

Building a healthier future together!!

A coordinated School Health Program (CSHP) connects health with education in the lives of children.  A coordinated approach to school health improves students’ health and their capacity to learn through the support of families, communities, and schools working together.

Effective Coordinated School Health Programs can…

  • reduce absenteeism and disruptive behaviors
  • improve student academic performance
  • better prepare students to be healthy and productive members of their communities.
