The Delaware Division of Public Health (DPH), in collaboration with several key stakeholders, has developed a Delaware School-Based Health Center (SBHC) Strategic Plan.
The 13 goals of the plan include a comprehensive list of action items, such as creating new SBHC sites where the need is greatest, establishing a new hub-and-spoke model for SBHC setup, fostering partnerships to increase the base menu of services, facilitating referrals to providers, adopting culturally linguistic appropriate services, increasing the capacity for telehealth, developing data collection infrastructure and analysis, establishing payer relationships and funding channels, and more. The plan will be governed by an independent body from public and private sectors, with a completion target date of 2025.
The plan was developed to ensure that SBHCs are responsive to the individual needs of Delaware’s children — who, for a variety of reasons, may not otherwise have access to the health care system for critical health and wellness services.
