LINDA
JUSZCZAK
LEGACY FUND

In March 2014, School-Based Health Alliance President Linda Juszczak passed away
after her two-year battle with lung cancer. Linda first became involved in schoolbased health care through her work as a nurse practitioner in New York. Linda
adored working with kids and teens, and was convinced that school-based health
care was the best way to ensure they had access to the quality, comprehensive
health care services they deserved. Her research and leadership skills helped her
advance to the role of president of the School-Based Health Alliance.

While her contributions to our field wont soon be forgotten, the School-Based
Health Alliances Board of Directors felt it necessary to establish the Linda Juszczak Legacy Fund to
further honor her memory. We want to use this fund as an opportunity to help individuals follow in
Lindas footsteps. Contributions have already allowed us to place Sally Lemke, a nurse practitioner
from Chicago, into our Leadership Fellows Program that began in 2015. We will also use this fund to
provide five scholarships to students in nursing school for our 2015 convention.

PRESIDENTS

LETTER

What an exciting time it is for school-based health centers (SBHCs) and for the School-Based Health
Alliance. During the 2013-14 fiscal year, in partnership with our major funders, we took on some
huge challenges: to grow the SBHC field 30% by 2018; to develop consensus national performance
measures and convince at least half of all SBHCs to report results annually; and to help all the
nations SBHCs improve both their clinical care and their population health and wellness efforts
throughout the school.
To achieve these goals, theres not a moment to lose. Luckily, our work from October 2013 through
September 2014 has laid the groundwork for success. During this year:
W
 e committed to our new mantra of more SBHCs and great SBHCs with our new cooperative
agreement with the Maternal and Child Health Bureau.
W
 e established the Linda Juszczak Legacy Fund, which is providing opportunities for emerging
leaders in the school-based health care movement to develop their skills.
O
 ur Hallways to Health program continued to demonstrate that SBHCs can employ promising
activities that promote healthy eating and active living and can begin to shift the school and
its broader community toward a culture of health and wellness.
O
 ur New Directions for School-Based Health Care grantees tested innovative methods of
providing care and building sustainable SBHCs.
O
 ur state affiliates continue to cobrand with us, strengthening our joint voice and mission by
providing more visibility to our brand.
You can read about all of these accomplishments and more in the pages that follow.
This year also marks my return to the CEO position, after the passing of our longtime President
Linda Juszczak. Linda was a fierce advocate for children and adolescents right to health care, a
leader in our movement, and a dedicated nurse practitioner.
Moving forward in Lindas absence hasnt been without its challenges. But Im deeply grateful and
honored to carry on the work, and I continue to be inspired by her complete and utter dedication to
this powerful health care model.
Thank you, dedicated members and supporters, for helping to propel us forward during this year.
The future is bright for our organization and the school-based health care field, and were happy to
have you with us.
John Schlitt
President

Can an SBHC

CHANGE
the Health Environment of a

SCHOOL?

With support from Kaiser Permanente, in 2013 the School-Based Health Alliance implemented
Hallways to Health. We wanted to test how we could change a schools landscape, using SBHCs as
the catalyst. The concept is that health should spill out of the SBHC and into a schools hallways,
classrooms, cafeteria, teachers lounge, and neighborhood.

HIGHLIGHTS

The School-Based Health Alliance sends a

letter to the House Committee on Energy and
Commerce to support Rep. Lois Capps (CA)
reauthorization of bill H.R. 2632.

To accomplish this, we selected a total of 15 high-performing SBHCs in California, Georgia, Maryland, Oregon,
and Washington. These sites are examining innovative techniques to promote healthy eating, active living,
and social and emotional health. Along the way, the School-Based Health Alliance and our state affiliates are
serving as vital partners by generating new strategies, convening the sites to learn from one another, evaluating
the effectiveness of their programs, and sharing best practices with the wider school-based health care field.
Working with our affiliates allows us to form national-state partnerships to advance school-based health care.

Hallways to Health SBHCs have replanted school gardens, expanded culturally-based healing
circles, held school-wide health fairs, and modeled Biggest Loser competitions for school
faculty and staff. A closer look at some of the grantees shows the tremendous success they
are experiencing:
T
 he Roosevelt Middle School in Oakland,
California, implemented a new BOOST
curriculum to address nutrition, food justice,
and social and emotional health. This
curriculum reinforced the capacity of the SBHC
to move beyond the clinic walls and implement
programing that has a public health focus.
T
 he SBHC at Turner Elementary in Georgia
provided health education lessons for its
students and ancillary service training for all
teachers on the importance of brain breaks.

Northwood High School in Maryland is now

measuring the BMI for every student seen in the
SBHC. In addition, the school implemented the
TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) program for all
school employees.
Century High School in Oregon mobilized its
first-ever wellness council, with student and
faculty members advocating for school policy
changes that promote healthy living.

This is just a small picture of what the 15 participating SBHCs have accomplished. For more information, visit
www.sbh4all.org/hallways-to-health/.

Linda Juszczak sends a letter to U.S. Secretary of
Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius to
urge her to recognize the vital role SBHCs play in
improving access to high-quality health care for
low-income children and their families.

A New

APPROACH
to In-School

SUSPENSION

Teachers and school administrators have a lot on their plates, and when a student is acting out,
removing the disruptive student from the classroom is oftentimes their only option. But when a
student is placed in a suspension classroom, he is not able to talk to anyone about why he was
acting out, and his studies are interrupted.
The Chicago-based Loyola University Health System, a
New Directions for School-Based Health Care grantee,
is trying to address this issue with a behavioral health
program at Proviso East High School in Illinois. Adriane
Van Zwoll, a clinical social worker who works in Provisos

SBHC, implemented an intervention program to help

students who often find themselves in the in-school
suspension classroom. When a student is sent to
in-school suspension, they complete a processing
form to determine why they are there.

> > > JAN 2014 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > FEB 2014 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

We release a revised set of behavioral health

protocols to meet the needs and goals of
SBHCs in providing effective and sustainable
behavioral health services.

The field celebrates 2014 School-Based Health

Care Awareness Month and how we lead the way
in providing preventative health care services for
our nations children and adolescents.

The form is short and gets right to the pointthis is what I did, this is why I did it, this is
what I was feeling, and this is what I can do different next time, said Van Zwoll. The form
allows me to pinpoint the kids who are at a higher risk. I will meet with those students oneon-one to talk about what is going on.
Van Zwoll also holds group sessions with the
students to discuss such topics as relationships,
anger and anger management, substance use
and abuse, life skills, plans after high school, and
stress management. The group sessions give her an
opportunity to talk about something new with the
students, and Van Zwoll encourages students who are
suspended to join her for individual sessions or will
refer them to the SBHC for follow-up services.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > >

MAR 2014

The program is in its first year, and Van Zwoll hopes

to expand the program and reduce suspensions at
Proviso. From my perspective, I feel Ive been able to
connect with some of the hardest-to-reach students.
I think my role has a big impact.

Charitable Trust.

To honor Lindas memory, the School-Based Health Alliance Board of Directors establishes the
Linda Juszczak Legacy Fund in March 2014. The Jamie and Judy Dimon Foundation generously
commit $10,000 a year for five years to the fund.

A Special

THANKS

YOUTH
ADVISORY COUNCIL

to Our Outgoing

When we launched our inaugural Youth Advisory Council in 2013, we didnt know what to expect.
This was the strongest step the School-Based Health Alliance had yet taken towards purposefully
integrating the youth voice into our organization.
Simone Bernstein, Idalia Martinez, Jhana Parikh,
Tyler Lang, and Katelyn Eystad brought passion,
energy, and commitment to the council from day one.
They immediately zeroed in on health issues facing
young peoplelike bullying and mental healthand
brought new ideas about how SBHCs can play a role
in addressing them. They connected with other youth
councils and organizations across the country to

create a new teen suicide prevention center on

our website.
In 2014, we challenged the council to have a greater
role in the youth track at our annual convention. They
were more than ready, and their workshop on building
future health care leaders provided both youth and adult
participants with incredibly powerful tools for youth
engagement and empowerment.

Our inaugural Youth Advisory Council far exceeded our expectations. While were sad to see
them finish, we know that the school-based health care movement is gaining five extraordinary
advocates and leaders. We wish them luck as they enroll in college and begin their careers.
