School-based health centers (SBHCs) and school nurses know that healthy students learn better. They share an important mission: providing preventive care for all students they serve, with the goal of keeping students in class learning. They both: (1) Educate students and families about healthy behaviors and nutrition; (2) Enroll students and families in public insurance programs; and (3) Offer immunizations. The benefits of working together include: (1) Enhance students' health, academic outcomes, and overall well-being; (2) Plan and implement health promotion and disease prevention programs; (3) Increase information sharing to protect student privacy and continuity of care; (4) Reduce emergency room visits and hospitalizations; and (5) Detect health problems before onset of chronic conditions. This paper also presents questions and answers pertaining to SBHCs and school nurses.
