The Michigan House of Representatives has introduced a resolution to designate February 22-28, 2026, as School-Based Health Care Awareness Week in the state. This initiative recognizes the significant contributions of Child and Adolescent Health Centers, which have been providing essential healthcare services, including primary and mental health care, for over 30 years. With more than 300 such centers operating across Michigan, these facilities serve children and youth in various educational settings, helping to improve school attendance, academic performance, and overall health outcomes.

The resolution highlights the positive impact of these health centers on students, noting improvements in attendance rates, standardized test scores, and immunization levels, while also addressing the wellness needs of children. It emphasizes the dedication of the staff and parents involved in these centers and acknowledges their vital role in enhancing the health and well-being of Michigan's youth.
