OURservices

In the spirit of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, Healthy Learners is devoted to removing children's health barriers to learning with love and compassion. Research has proven that education is the key for children to go further in life, empowering them to obtain higher-wage jobs, make positive life choices, and learn to invest in their future communities to make them stronger, healthier, and vibrant.

 

Yet, for many children in poverty, their educational success is at risk because of fixable health care challenges that have not been addressed – known as Health Barriers to Learning. The prevalence of health barriers to learning is higher in children of color or in poverty, and these same children bear more burden of disease, emergency health care needs, and education loss—in part due to their poor access to preventative and ongoing healthcare services. Healthy Learners was created to address these challenges head on and serve as the catalyst to ensure every child receives the health care they need to thrive in school and life, both now and in the future.
