Podcast: Health Centers & Schools Uniting for Young Students’ Success

November 09, 2018

Many health centers across the country are building partnerships with schools to expand access to quality care and address the powerful social, environmental, and economic conditions that unjustly influence health outcomes of low-income children and adolescents in their communities. Tamara Harris Clinic Manager, Mosaic Medical and Katie Condit, Executive Director of Better Together Central Oregon join us to talk about working together to create a school-wide culture of care. Their project was recently awarded $300,000 through America’s Promise Alliance and funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

About the Author

The National Assocation of Community Health Centers
The National Assocation of Community Health Centers

The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) was founded in 1971 to “promote efficient, high quality, comprehensive health care that is accessible, culturally and linguistically competent, community directed, and patient centered for all.”

NACHC:

  • Serves as the leading national advocacy organization in support of community-based health centers and the expansion of health care access for the medically underserved and uninsured.
  • Conducts research and analysis that informs both the public and private sectors about the work of health centers, their value to the American health care system and the overall health of the nation’s people and communities – both in terms of costs and health care outcomes.
  • Provides training, leadership development and technical assistance to support and strengthen health center operations and governance.
  • Develops alliances and partnerships with the public and private sectors to build stronger and  healthier communities.

NACHC also works closely with chartered State and Regional Primary Care Associations (PCAs) to fulfill their shared health care mission and support the growth and development of community-based health center programs.  Read more about the Primary Care Association in your state/region.
