As of 2024, more than two dozen states have expanded their school Medicaid programs, increasing access to school health services for more than 15 million children.
Healthy Students, Promising Futures has provided direct support to 12 of these states, including eight states in the HSPF Learning Collaborative.
Information Access & Advocacy
Healthy Schools Campaign, which manages Healthy Students, Promising Futures, developed the first online map representing the status of school Medicaid programs and provider eligibility in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. States and school districts can use this data to identify gaps in coverage and take appropriate steps to increase access to Medicaid-funded school health services.
HSC regularly hosts webinars and publishes policy briefs and journal articles on expanding school health services. These publications educate and support the work of policymakers and school health advocates.
