2026 National School-Based Health Care
Awareness Month
A spotlight on our Field
This February, the School-Based Health Alliance (SBHA) is celebrating School-Based Health Care Awareness Month by recognizing the everyday superheroes who make school-based care possible: school-based health center (SBHC) teams and sponsors, school nurses, school partners, philanthropists, policymakers, and all the champions across the field.
In a time of uncertainty, limited resources, and shifting needs, you continue to show up for students. This toolkit includes ready-to-post graphics and sample copy to help you celebrate your teams and share the impact of school-based health care in your community.
This Year Campaign #2026SBHCHeroes
We invite SBHCs and state affiliates to join us in celebrating alongside local centers, school nurses, schools, districts, and partners.
SBHA designed this campaign for SBHC staff, healthcare professionals, school leaders, policymakers, and anyone who supports student health.
