Summary

The Minnesota School-Based Health Center Grant provides crucial funding for new clinics aimed at enhancing student health services. This program supports the establishment of School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs) that deliver comprehensive medical care, including preventive and behavioral health services. With a three-year funding cycle, organizations can plan and launch these centers, ensuring that by year three, students have access to essential health services directly within their educational environment.

Overview

These services are provided by licensed and qualified health professionals in accordance with federal, state, and local law. Additional services provided by a SBHC can include but are not limited to: chronic medical condition management, including diabetes and asthma care, acute care for illness and injury, oral health care, vision care, nutritional counseling, reproductive health care, substance abuse care and counseling, referral to a specialist, medical home, or hospital for care, services that address social determinates of health and emerging services such as mobile health and telehealth. Category 1: The New and Emerging Grant is a onetime opportunity to provide funding to organizations that are planning to open and operate one or more new SBHC sites. The grant provides three years of funding to plan, organize, and open a new SBHC site. By the end of year two it is expected that a new SBHC site will be ready to open and students may begin receiving services in year three.
