The article from *The Dispatch / The Rock Island Argus* discusses a new initiative in Rock Island, Illinois, where the local school district has partnered with Community Health Care, Inc. to provide affordable health care services directly at Rock Island High School. This collaboration aims to address the health care needs of students by offering services like physicals, vaccinations, and mental health support right on campus. The program is designed to reduce barriers to health care access, particularly for students from low-income families, by making services more convenient and less costly. The initiative was spurred by the recognition that many students miss school due to health issues that could be prevented or managed with better access to care. The partnership not only seeks to improve student health but also to enhance academic performance by ensuring students are healthy enough to attend and engage in school activities.
