Operating and Sustaining a SBHC

This page offers guidance for communities, school districts, and healthcare providers in Washington as they explore school-based health centers (SBHCs), with a specific focus on their operational logistics. The documents and links below provide an overview of SBHCs, with additional details and resources for those looking for more. The information here draws on over 30 years of SBHC experience in Washington and from programs across the U.S. While each community is unique, SBHCs share a common goal: supporting the health and wellness of children and youth.

This page reviews sustainability and funding, compliance, marketing/outreach, and staffing.
