NASBHC services training initiative for SBHCs announces preventive oral health
The National Assembly on School-Based Health Care NASBHC
WASHINGTON D.C. — March 29, 2011 — The National Assembly on School-Based Health Care, a nonprofit organization that aims to advance and advocate for school-based health centers, announced today that it has received a $600,000 grant from Kaiser Permanente. Funding from the Oakland-based nonprofit health organization will be used to increase access to oral health care for approximately 3,000 children and adolescents with demonstrated need. NASBHC will use a competitive grant process to distribute a majority of the funding directly to the SBHC field to expand the scope of practice of existing staff. The geographic reach of the project will be national with a focus on Colorado, California, Oregon, Washington, Georgia, Ohio, Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.
“One of the most pressing, unmet health needs of children and adolescents that SBHCs seek to address is oral health,” said Linda Juszczak, executive director of NASBHC. “Poor oral health has been shown to impact students’ academic performance, often contributing to poor attendance, concentration problems, and low self image. With specialized training and support, our nation’s SBHCs are well-positioned to provide their young patients with access to the oral health care they need to stay healthy and in school, and NASBHC’s partnership with Kaiser Permanente will help make this happen.”
Information provided by NASBHC: NASBHC is pleased to announce a training and technical assistance initiative to expand the capacity of school-based health centers to deliver preventive oral health services.
