Bill > SR0013

This resolution recognizes February 2025 as School-Based Health Care Awareness Month in Michigan, highlighting the significant role of school-based and school-linked health centers in providing comprehensive healthcare services to children and youth. These health centers, which have been operating for over 30 years, offer primary care, mental health services, and preventive care across urban, rural, and suburban schools throughout the state. The resolution emphasizes the positive impact of these centers, noting that students served by these programs demonstrate improved school attendance, better standardized test scores, reduced illness-related absenteeism, and increased immunization rates. Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the dedication of health center staff and parents/guardians in supporting the health and well-being of Michigan's children, recognizing their critical contribution to improving young people's overall health and academic success.
