The mission of the California School Health Centers Association (CSHC) is to promote the health and academic success of children and youth by increasing access to the high quality health care and support services provided by school health centers. CSHC pursues this mission by advocating for public policies that support school health centers; building support among policymakers, community leaders, parents and students; and providing technical support to new and existing school health centers.

CSHC is a nonprofit membership and advocacy organization. CSHC's members include California's 153 school health centers and other individuals and organizations that support school-based health care. CSHC is the State Chapter of the National Assembly on School-Based Health Care .

CSHC advocates for state-level policies supporting school-based health care, holds regular meetings and trainings, assists members in building relationships with managed-care organizations, and serves as a channel of communication about school-based health care in California.

In addition to school health centers, individuals and organizations that share our goals are welcome to become members. To join CSHC, click here.
