School health services: a Hub of Services to children and their families.
The Corporate/Community Schools of America (C/CSA) is a not-for-profit coalition of business executives, concerned educators, and community leaders working to reform urban public education in the United States. This article reports on the C/CSA Chicago and the Hub of Services, which is a central component of the school design. The Hub of Services concept is described and compared to traditional school health program management models. Selected outcomes of the program are summarized as well as replication issues. Given the competing demands for increased school-based services and increased fiscal constraints, this unique experiment provides a school health service model that offers a solution for both of these demands.
