Description of the Model
ABOUT MCSHC
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. The coalition does this by promoting the use of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Whole School, Community, Child model. This model focuses on improving students’ health and their capacity to learn through families, schools, and communities working together. The model consists of ten interactive components that develop and emphasize health-related knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors. Schools work within the family and community structure to ensure optimal health and wellness for children.

Navigating Pediatric Medical Complexity
in School-Based Settings
Hosted by Telehealth ROCKS
About: As part of the Supporting the Whole Child ECHO-like series and aligned with the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model focus area of Health Services, this session explores pediatric medical complexity across healthcare, school, and home settings. Participants will define Children with Medical Complexity (CMC), characterize key stakeholders involved in CMC care, discuss care plans, and identify available resources to support these students. A school nurse perspective will highlight day-to-day management of complex conditions, medication administration, emergency care planning, and communication between teams. Through a case-based discussion, participants will explore care coordination strategies to support student safety and promote continued participation in school despite ongoing medical needs.
