- Summary:
-
Because school-based health centers are located in areas serving a large percentage of low-income minority children, they have the potential to provide health care services to millions of children lacking health insurance. Although support for these centers is growing, funding remains in jeopardy. This fact sheet details what child advocates can do to help ensure that school-based health centers remain in operation to serve children who need crucial health services. The fact sheet maintains that child advocacy organizations can lend their public policy expertise and advocacy experience to health care providers by assisting in advocacy campaigns, helping health care advocates increase public support for their programs, bringing together key stakeholders, and training newcomers to the advocacy field. Suggestions are provided for framing an argument for using the school setting as a child-focused safety net strategy. The fact sheet asserts that child advocates can take a lead role in advocating for funding to sustain and expand important health resources for children. It is argued that child advocates are ideally positioned to play a strategic role in promoting health and well-being of children in their states by advocating on behalf of school-based health centers. The fact sheet concludes with a list of organizations for additional information. (KB)
