History

The Missouri Coordinated School Health Coalition was formed as a result of the Governor's School Health Summit in 1994. The members of the Coalition represent 36 state agencies and organizations in a statewide partnership to advocate for Coordinated School Health Programs.

The Coalition developed the "School Health Advisory Council Guide" to help schools establish local councils.

What are Coordinated School Health Programs?

Coordinated School Health Programs are a cost-effective, collaborative way to promote the health of your community's students. A school health program that effectively addresses student's health and therefore improves their ability to learn, consists of many components. Each component contributes in its own unique way, while overlapping with the others.

Strategic Plan

The Missouri Coordinated School Health Coalition (MCSHC) is a collaborative of organizations and individuals whose primary responsibility is to assist schools in their student health and wellness initiatives. We developed this strategic plan to strengthen our efforts to reach more schools and increase the effectiveness of our support for coordinated school health. This strategic plan covers three years, 2007 through 2009. It is intended to communicate our purpose and support our decision-making regarding organizational structure, policy, budget, and program priorities.
