In collaboration with the School-Based Health Alliance (SBHA) and other state affiliates, OSBHA is participating in a multi-state policy learning collaborative for public and private funders. The goal of this collaborative is to advance policies that support and value the full integration of school health care within emerging organizational and financial models to achieve high-quality, cost-effective, population focused health improvements and outcomes.
