Welcome To Coordinated School Health! |

What is Coordinated School Health? Coordinated School Health is an effective system designed to connect health and education. This coordinated approach to school health improves the health of students and their capacity to learn through the support of families, communities, and schools.
Schools by themselves cannot combat the nation’s most serious health and social problems. It takes a coordinated effort of many individuals, groups, organizations, and families to improve health and education. Schools, however, can provide a critical facility through which these groups can work together to improve the well-being of young people.
Coordinated School Health is not a program, but it is a systematic approach to promoting student health that emphasizes needs assessment; planning based on data, sound science, and analysis of gaps and redundancies in school health programming; and evaluation.
