The Washington School-Based Health Alliance (WA SBHA) is collecting statewide data on school-based health centers (SBHCs) in Washington through an annual survey. All SBHC healthcare provider organizations and partners are encouraged to participate by providing updated information on their sites. This initiative aims to enhance access to integrated health services in schools and illustrate how SBHCs benefit the health and well-being of young people in Washington.
Responses will help advocate for increased funding at local, state, and federal levels, demonstrate the impact of SBHCs to policymakers, and highlight their importance in public communications. Participation is crucial as WA SBHA often receives inquiries from stakeholders about the SBHC landscape in Washington, ensuring school-based health remains a key topic in improving adolescent health.
To incentivize participation, organizations that submit complete responses will be rewarded with a $150 gift card for every five sites reported, and an additional $25 per site for those with more than five sites. The deadline for submissions is Friday, February 27, at 11:59 PM. For questions, contact McCall James at mjames@wasbha.org.
