Regional School Health Coalition In 2007 Community Health Connections in collaboration with CAVU Inc. established a school health coalition to improve access to a full range of health services for school aged children in North Central Massachusetts.

The School Health Coalition works to: 

• Prioritize regional school health needs; 
• Increase collaboration between educators and healthcare/social service providers; 
• Share best practices and resources; 
• Seek funding opportunities as a collaborative effort; and 
• Develop an advocacy agenda to address necessary state-wide systems changes.
