“School Health: Expanding the Impact across Indiana”
The Indiana School Health Network convened their school health conference July 21-22, 2010, kicking it off with keynote speaker, Kelly Bishop. Ms. Bishop is the National NGO Team Lead for the Divsion of Adolescent and School Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Her message was clear: addressing the health needs of students in a collaborative effort between schools and community partners does positively impact student academic achievement.
Approximately 100 attendees came together in Indianapolis to network and learn more about school health initiatives across Indiana, including expanding school based health centers and Coordinated School Health Programs into more Indiana schools. National, regional and local speakers and exhibitors shared valuable information and resources to support these efforts. The 1-1/2 day conference ended with a call to action to encourage more school health partners to work together with the Indiana School Health Network to provide opportunities for our students and families to be healthy and academically successful.
