Minnesota School-Based Health Alliance

The MN School-Based Health Alliance would like to introduce itself to you and all who are committed to optimal student health and academic success! 

We serve MN students and their families, school districts, and communities through advocacy and technical assistance to advance a high quality, time-tested, effective model for health AND education equity: School-Based Health Centers.  

School-Based Health Centers provide essential healthcare services where and when students can reach it: in schools!  

SBHCs provide students K-12 with annual and sports physicals, preventive asthma care, acute care concerns like strep throat and allergy symptoms, flu shots and other needed vaccines, mental health evaluation and counseling, dental and eye exams, and more. Imbedded within school communities, SBHCs work in collaboration with onsite Licensed School Nurses and school support professionals to amplify the reach and positive impact of one another.

Students receive care irrespective of ability to pay, and there is no cost to the student or family. This means that for 50+ years, SBHCs have relied on local, state and national grant funds and individual contributions to cover costs when insurance coverage is not an option.

The MN School-Based Health Alliance advocates for sustainable school-based health centers with diverse financial support, including our inaugural Give-To-The-Max-Day campaign to raise $8,000!
