Presentation Title : Improving the Health & Well-being of Young People While Addressing Barriers to Learning – The Benefits of a Comprehensive School-Based Health Center (SBHC)

Superintendent Rich Abramson and Health Center Coordinator Cindy Flye provided an overview of Maranacook’s Student Health Center and general information about school-based health centers and the role they play in supporting student success and achievement. They shared how Maranacook’s Student Health Center has evolved over the past 16 years; how acute medical services and behavioral health services are funded; and the benefits of a SBHC.

The informational packet provided to the participants included the Academic Outcome fact sheet from the National Assembly on School-based Health Care – an excellent resource if you need a brief one pager to share with your school administrators and/or school board. (PDF on the Download Page)
