The Maryland Assembly on School Based Health Care (MASBHC) was created in 1997 as an advocacy organization to represent school based health centers. State grant funding supported MASBHC and continues today. These funds are used to support the technical assistance and training component of the organization. MASBHC is an official state affiliate of the School-Based Health Alliance.
Today, MASBHC is the leading advocacy voice for Maryland’s 95 school based health centers.
During the 2021-22 school year, 28,497 students were enrolled in Maryland School Based Health Centers by their parents/guardians, in which 42,440 visits occurred to Maryland School Based Health Centers.
