Advocates Rally for School-Based Health Care
|
On June 29, 2007, California
school health center supporters and
CHSC staff attended the NASBHC (National Assembly on School-Based
Health Care) annual conference in Washington D.C. NASBHC and
its
ardent supporters celebrated Advocacy
Day, held in conjunction with
the 2007 National School-Based Health Care Convention. NASBHC
hosted a celebratory rally, featuring speakers renowned in the field.
Galvanized by inspirational speeches and legislation that
had just
been introduced in Congress the previous week, advocates in
bright
red t-shirts proclaiming "A Vote for School-Based Health
Care is a Vote
for a Healthier America" stormed the hill for over 160 Congressional
visits. |
