About Us

The Arkansas School-Based Health Alliance is a non-profit organization which advocates for the provision of high-quality, easily accessible, coordinated health services to the children of Arkansas in a place they spend much of their time: their school. The School-Based Health Alliance of Arkansas was founded in 2012 and is the Arkansas voice for school-based health centers (SBHCs). Built from the grassroots up by individuals from state agencies, local school-based health centers, child health and education organizations, we are a true reflection of the field we support. The Arkansas Affiliate of the School-Based Health Alliance advocates for national and state policies, programs, and funding to expand and strengthen SBHCs, while also supporting the movement with training and technical assistance.
