A school-based health centre partnership: Faculty practice, nursing student learning and wellness in youth, families and community.

Aims And Objectives: This paper describes the development of a SBHC with an innovative model of care that grew out of a partnership between a public-school district and a university nursing programme in the midwestern region of the United States.

Background And Purpose: Persistent barriers to health and health care experienced by youth are well documented. School-based health centres (SBHCs) can improve educational and health outcomes, positively impacting health equity.
