Demonstrating the Impact of School-Based Health Centers astho.org/topic/report/2…

Great brief from Step Two Policy Project on BH & Managed Care shorturl.at/e81Ha Thank you for objectively reinforcing a need to permanently carve out SBHCs: ‘Our conclusion after examining the issue was that carving in SBHCs to managed care would be counterproductive.’

We applaud @GovKathyHochul for providing much needed funding to #sbhc dental programs! Oral health is a critical part of care, as @AmyPaulin has pointed out, especially for children. If SBHCs remain fee for service, it will ensure the maximum # of children can receive dental care

Under the Trump administration, we have seen Black history erased from federal spaces, museums and websites.  Here in New York, we will always celebrate Black history and the work of generations of Black Americans that helped make our state great.

Aanndd they aren’t being honest about their pricing. This is who we trust with kids’ healthcare, @GovKathyHochul?? New York health insurers struggle to comply with price transparency rules crainsnewyork.com/health-pulse/n… via @CrainsNewYork

School has begun amid a chaotic, challenging - even dangerous- federal climate for our kids. SBHCs are needed now more than ever, @GovKathyHochul rb.gy/yjkywu
