Join us for our annual Student Health Conference on October 23, 2026 in Wenatchee, Washington, where we will convene a diverse group of professionals in school-based health, including healthcare providers, educators, and administrators, from across the state.

This year’s theme, Blazing Trails: Forging Shared Approaches for Student Health, celebrates the innovation, collaboration, and passion driving Washington’s student health community to better support the health and well-being of our young people. Focused on learning, discussing, and inspiring one another, our SHC features a variety of breakout sessions to meet the needs of both seasoned clinicians and newcomers to school-based healthcare.
