Urban Health Program School Based Health Centers In 2009, the Foundation approved a multi-year grant to the “Urban Health Program” (changed name to “Partners for Equity in Child and Adolescent Health”) to support the expansion of school based health centers across Georgia. 10

Partners for Equity in Child and Adolescent Health • Lessons Learned – Public Private Partnerships are vital for sustainability (federal/state/county/district) – Support for children and families requires coordination and/or integration of services (health/education/human services) – Return on investment has short and long term dividends (school attendance/health benefits/family stability) 11

Partners for Equity in Child and Adolescent Health Outcomes – Local to Global: Atlanta pilot adapted for Georgia school communities – Increased Access to Healthcare: 45, 000 students – Improved Health Outcomes: asthma to obesity – Community Building: local collaboration and state association 12
