The California School-Based Health Alliance (formerly the California School Health Centers Association) improves the health and academic success of children and youth by advancing health services in schools. We envision a day when all of California's children and youth are healthy and achieving at their full potential. Since hiring our first paid staff in 2003, the Alliance has successfully grown to have an annual budget of more than $1,500,000 and thirteen staff. We conduct policy work, promote the school based health center (SBHC) model, and assist SBHCs with program development to expand and strengthen school health services. Our large network of collaborating partners includes 231 SBHCs, numerous school districts, federally qualified health centers and other providers, dozens of state and local policy organizations, and an e-communications network of more than 3,200 individuals. Our goal is to make school health centers an integral and sustainable part of the health care and educational systems. By putting health care where kids are – in schools – school health centers increase access to care and take health problems out of the classroom so that teachers can teach and students can learn.
Freedom Guide Dogs is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization based in Upstate New York, which breeds, trains and places guide dogs with the blind and visually impaired through a distinctive program called Hometown Training at no cost to the recipient. Freedom was founded in 1991 and is celebrating 25 years of service. Freedom Guide Dogs' services are available to people along the East Coast of the United States at no cost with special consideration given to veterans and people with additional disabilities beyond visual impairment. We place Labrador Retrievers, Smooth Coat Collies, Bouvier des Flanders as guide dogs. We find that offering several breeds allows us to better match the individual needs of each client, many of whom cannot be accommodated by other guide dog schools.
