School Based Health Centers 
The Washington County School Based Health Center (SBHC) Initiative was a collaboration led by the Commission on Children and Families and the Vision Action Network involving more than 25 organizations and funders, including all seven school districts, the Northwest Regional Education Service District, the Department of Health and Human Services, Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center,LifeWorks NW, Providence Health Systems, Tuality HealthCare, Legacy Health Systems, OHSU and Pacific University. The collaboration, which was established in October 2006, developed a five-year plan to establish school-based health centers throughout Washington County. The first health center developed through the SBHC Initiative opened at Tigard High School in April 2008. To learn more about the SBHC Initiative, visit: |
