PURPOSE

The Delaware School Based Health Alliance is an education and advocacy organization that promotes school-based health care so that all Delaware children have access to and receive high quality multidisciplinary, developmentally appropriate, physical and emotional health care that includes a focus on health promotion and management of chronic disease and is prevention oriented. One of our primary goals is to help better link students and their families to ongoing sources of care in the community.
