    school puts them in a better position to learn.

    School-based health centers provides a crucial
    link between health and education, improving
    outcomes for students in both areas. With youth-
    focused health education and services available at school, students are more likely to stay healthy,
    feel supported, be in class ready to learn, and
    graduate.
