School Liaison

The Mission of the School Liaison is to protect and promote the health of our youngest citizens through the provision of resources and outreach efforts into schools and communities in Madison County.

See our helpful links section for general resource information (like clothing assistance, help with health insurance, etc.). Also, see our resources table below for categories like Athletics, Trauma/Injury Prevention, Vision/Hearing/Dental, Sexual Health and more.

We believe all children should have access to opportunities that allow them to flourish and live long, healthy lives.
