In March 2014, School-Based Health Alliance President Linda Juszczak passed away after her two-year battle with lung cancer. Linda first became involved in school-based health care through her work as a nurse practitioner in New York. Linda adored working with kids and teens, and was convinced that school-based health care was the best way to ensure they had access to the quality, comprehensive health care services they deserved. Her research and leadership skills helped her advance to the role of president of the School-Based Health Alliance.
While her contributions to our field won’t soon be forgotten, the School-Based Health Alliance’s Board of Directors felt it necessary to establish the Linda Juszczak Legacy Fund to further honor her memory. We want to use this fund as an opportunity to help individuals follow in Linda’s footsteps. Contributions have already allowed us to place Sally Lemke, a nurse practitioner from Chicago, into our Leadership Fellows Program that began in 2015. We will also use this fund to provide five scholarships to students in nursing school for our 2015 convention.
LINDA JUSZCZAK LEGACY FUND
What an exciting time it is for school-based health centers (SBHCs) and for the School-Based Health Alliance. During the 2013-14 fiscal year, in partnership with our major funders, we took on some huge challenges: to grow the SBHC field 30% by 2018; to develop consensus national performance measures and convince at least half of all SBHCs to report results annually; and to help all the nation’s SBHCs improve both their clinical care and their population health and wellness efforts throughout the school.
To achieve these goals, there’s not a moment to lose. Luckily, our work from October 2013 through September 2014 has laid the groundwork for success. During this year:
• We committed to our new mantra of more SBHCs and great SBHCs with our new cooperative agreement with the Maternal and Child Health Bureau.
• We established the Linda Juszczak Legacy Fund, which is providing opportunities for emerging leaders in the school-based health care movement to develop their skills.
• Our Hallways to Health program continued to demonstrate that SBHCs can employ promising activities that promote healthy eating and active living and can begin to shift the school and its broader community toward a culture of health and wellness.
• Our New Directions for School-Based Health Care grantees tested innovative methods of providing care and building sustainable SBHCs.
• Our state affiliates continue to cobrand with us, strengthening our joint voice and mission by providing more visibility to our brand.
You can read about all of these accomplishments and more in the pages that follow.
This year also marks my return to the CEO position, after the passing of our longtime President Linda Juszczak. Linda was a fierce advocate for children and adolescents’ right to health care, a leader in our movement, and a dedicated nurse practitioner.
Moving forward in Linda’s absence hasn’t been without its challenges. But I’m deeply grateful and honored to carry on the work, and I continue to be inspired by her complete and utter dedication to this powerful health care model.
Thank you, dedicated members and supporters, for helping to propel us forward during this year. The future is bright for our organization and the school-based health care field, and we’re happy to have you with us.

With support from Kaiser Permanente, in 2013 the School-Based Health Alliance implemented
Hallways to Health. We wanted to test how we could change a school’s landscape, using SBHCs as
the catalyst. The concept is that health should spill out of the SBHC and into a school’s hallways,
classrooms, cafeteria, teacher’s lounge, and neighborhood.
Can an SBHC
CHANGE the Health Environment of a
SCHOOL?
The School-Based Health Alliance sends a
letter to the House Committee on Energy and

reauthorization of bill H.R. 2632.

To accomplish this, we selected a total of 15 high-performing SBHCs in California, Georgia, Maryland, Oregon, and Washington. These sites are examining innovative techniques to promote healthy eating, active living, and social and emotional health. Along the way, the School-Based Health Alliance and our state affiliates are serving as vital partners by generating new strategies, convening the sites to learn from one another, evaluating the effectiveness of their programs, and sharing best practices with the wider school-based health care field. Working with our affiliates allows us to form national-state partnerships to advance school-based health care.
Hallways to Health SBHCs have replanted school gardens, expanded culturally-based healing
circles, held school-wide health fairs, and modeled “Biggest Loser” competitions for school
faculty and staff. A closer look at some of the grantees shows the tremendous success they
are experiencing:
• The Roosevelt Middle School in Oakland, California, implemented a new BOOST curriculum to address nutrition, food justice, and social and emotional health. This curriculum reinforced the capacity of the SBHC to move beyond the clinic walls and implement programing that has a public health focus.
• The SBHC at Turner Elementary in Georgia provided health education lessons for its students and ancillary service training for all teachers on the importance of “brain breaks.”
• Northwood High School in Maryland is now measuring the BMI for every student seen in the SBHC. In addition, the school implemented the TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) program for all school employees.
• Century High School in Oregon mobilized its first-ever wellness council, with student and faculty members advocating for school policy changes that promote healthy living.
This is just a small picture of what the 15 participating SBHCs have accomplished. For more information, visit www.sbh4all.org/hallways-to-health/.
Linda Juszczak sends a letter to U.S. Secretary of
Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius to
urge her to recognize the vital role SBHCs play in
improving access to high-quality health care for
low-income children and their families.

Teachers and school administrators have a lot on their plates, and when a student is acting out,
removing the disruptive student from the classroom is oftentimes their only option. But when a
student is placed in a suspension classroom, he is not able to talk to anyone about why he was
acting out, and his studies are interrupted.
The Chicago-based Loyola University Health System, a New Directions for School-Based Health Care grantee, is trying to address this issue with a behavioral health program at Proviso East High School in Illinois. Adriane Van Zwoll, a clinical social worker who works in Proviso’s
SBHC, implemented an intervention program to help students who often find themselves in the in-school suspension classroom. When a student is sent to in-school suspension, they complete a processing form to determine why they are there.
A New
APPROACH to In-School SUSPENSION
We release a revised set of behavioral health
protocols to meet the needs and goals of
SBHCs in providing effective and sustainable
behavioral health services.

“ The form is short and gets right to the point—this is what I did, this is why I did it, this is
what I was feeling, and this is what I can do different next time,” said Van Zwoll. “The form
allows me to pinpoint the kids who are at a higher risk. I will meet with those students one-
on-one to talk about what is going on.”
Van Zwoll also holds group sessions with the students to discuss such topics as relationships, anger and anger management, substance use and abuse, life skills, plans after high school, and stress management. The group sessions give her an opportunity to talk about something new with the students, and Van Zwoll encourages students who are suspended to join her for individual sessions or will refer them to the SBHC for follow-up services.
The program is in its first year, and Van Zwoll hopes to expand the program and reduce suspensions at Proviso. “From my perspective, I feel I’ve been able to connect with some of the hardest-to-reach students. I think my role has a big impact.”
Our new directions for School-Based Health Care inititiative is generously funded by CVS Caremark Charitable Trust.
To honor Linda’s memory, the School-Based Health Alliance Board of Directors establishes the
Linda Juszczak Legacy Fund in March 2014. The Jamie and Judy Dimon Foundation generously
commit $10,000 a year for five years to the fund.

When we launched our inaugural Youth Advisory Council in 2013, we didn’t know what to expect.
This was the strongest step the School-Based Health Alliance had yet taken towards purposefully
integrating the youth voice into our organization.
Simone Bernstein, Idalia Martinez, Jhana Parikh, Tyler Lang, and Katelyn Eystad brought passion, energy, and commitment to the council from day one. They immediately zeroed in on health issues facing young people—like bullying and mental health—and brought new ideas about how SBHCs can play a role in addressing them. They connected with other youth councils and organizations across the country to
create a new teen suicide prevention center on our website.
In 2014, we challenged the council to have a greater role in the youth track at our annual convention. They were more than ready, and their workshop on building future health care leaders provided both youth and adult participants with incredibly powerful tools for youth engagement and empowerment.
A Special
THANKSto Our
Outgoing YOUTH
ADVISORY COUNCIL
Our inaugural Youth Advisory Council far exceeded our expectations. While we’re sad to see
them finish, we know that the school-based health care movement is gaining five extraordinary
advocates and leaders. We wish them luck as they enroll in college and begin their careers.
