State Affiliates Share Our Vision; Help Guide Our National Agenda

From our early developmental days, we recognized that our work at the national level must be informed by the experiences of local and state school-based health care (SBHC) partners. These organizations represent the SBHC movement “in the field” and bring with them valuable input into the day-to-day operational needs of school health care providers.

The majority of these local organizations are independent nonprofits representing school-based health care concerns. Many have chosen to work together to identify one organization within their state to lead their advocacy and public policy efforts. As of today, 28 states have formed or are in the process of establishing a state SBHC organization, and of those, 20 have achieved State Affiliate status with the School-Based Health Alliance.
