ABOUT US

The New York School-Based Health Foundation grew out of the former NYS Coalition for School Based Health Centers, which was re-branded as an affiliate of the National School Based Health Alliance and is now recognized as the New York School-Based Health Alliance. Complementing the member and advocacy focus of the Alliance, the Foundation is the 501(c)(3) non-profit arm with a broad mission of education, research and support for the growth and expansion of SBHCs, as well as improving access for all children and youth statewide.

OUR MISSION

Improve access to comprehensive primary care for all children and youth statewide, including medical, mental, oral, and community health services, through high-quality program delivery in partnership with the NYSBH Alliance.
