They discussed topics such as how to find a medical or school partner, fundraising for construction and facility costs, and marketing and community engagement. Interact for Health associates provided an overview of a roadmap to navigate and promote SBHC development. View the webinar recording.

The meeting shared learnings from the Medical University of South Carolina, a National Center of Telehealth Excellence, whose telehealth program serves more than 80 schools throughout the state. MUSC has designed a comprehensive process to implement a school telehealth program. The use of telehealth has exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic and will likely continue.
