School Health Lobby Day On Beacon Hill

JOIN US TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS STUDENTS THROUGH IMPROVED SCHOOL HEALTH AND NURSING SERVICES!

Monday, February 11, 2002
9 A.M. to 11 A.M
The Great Hall Hall
State House, Boston

The Massachusetts School Nursing Services Collaborative lobbies to increase state funding for school health services. On Monday, February 11, 2002 at the State House we are kicking off our Fiscal Year 2003 budget effort to protect school health funding from possible budget cuts and increase state resources for school health and nursing services in more schools across the Commonwealth. We invite school nurses, parents and colleagues to join us on that day, to thank legislators for their past support of school health funding, and to ask them to increase funding for school health/school nursing services in the FY 2003 state budget. On behalf of the school children of Massachusetts and the school nurses who deliver care to an increasingly medically complex population of students, we hope you will join us on February 11th.
