School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs) are essential in providing accessible, comprehensive healthcare to students directly within schools. They help reduce barriers to care, such as transportation difficulties, lack of time, or financial constraints, by bringing health services to a place where students already spend much of their day. SBHCs improve overall student wellness, which in turn positively impacts academic performance, attendance, and behavior. By addressing both physical and mental health needs in a familiar environment, SBHCs help create healthier communities, fostering a supportive and preventive care system for youth.
