Washington's School Nurse Corps (SNC) is celebrating 20 years of keeping our students healthy!
Since the Washington State Legislature established the SNC in 1999, this program has increased equity in physical and mental health services for students. The SNC helps children, especially those in small, rural school districts, stay healthy.
Since its founding, the SNC has focused on providing these two essential services:
1. HEALTH CARE EQUITY
Registered nursing in small, rural school districts with direct care, health education and training for school staff.
2. REGIONALIZED SERVICE
School health consultation, professional development, mentoring, and resources from a nurse administrator in each of Washington’s nine educational service districts.
