About Us

The Collaboration strives to improve student health in CPS using a three-pronged approach:

1. Service Matching: The Collaboration works to coordinate community health programs and services in Chicago Public Schools. Programs offered cover a wide range of student health-related topics, including: asthma and environment; first aid and hygiene; nutrition; physical activity; and social, emotional and sexual health.
   
2. Policy Initiatives: The Collaboration seeks to address systems and policy issues to create opportunities for healthier students by working with student health leaders, CPS central office, and state government.
   
3. Partner Education and Networking: The Collaboration offers education and networking opportunities to bring together individuals from diverse organizations to share strengths and overcome obstacles.

The Collaboration includes a wide variety of organizations and individuals, all working to contribute to improving student health.
