The Maryland Assembly is an advocacy organization that promotes school-based health care as a means to advance the belief that all Maryland children and youth have a basic fundamental right to access and receive comprehensive, quality health care.
School-based health care represents an essential strategy toward improving the lives of Maryland’s children and their families and optimizing their ability to become contributing members of society. School-based health care addresses the unique needs of children and youth and increases access to medical, mental, dental and/or other health related services.
MASBHC’s biggest initiatives include our participation in Hallways to Health through the School Based Health Alliance, our annual conference, and our advocacy work.
The MASBHC Inaugural Awards Dinner was a great success on May 15, 2024!
Thank you to all our Sponsors, Honorees, Attendees and Supporters in making it a great evening of celebration. We appreciate Dr. Josh Sharfstein for his thought-provoking presentation.
