Location: Keck Center, Room 100, 500 Fith Street, NW, Washington, DC
AGENDA
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
- Understand the complex relationship between education and health, and how this understanding could inform our nation’s investments and policies
- Explore how the health and education sectors can work together more effectively to achieve co-benefits (improvements in educational attainment and in health status) by:
- Learning from education leaders how the health sector could support their efforts at the level of students, families, and schools (e.g., addressing the health care needs, advocating for better health care for children and better connections between school and health care delivery systems)
- Learning from education leaders which education policy efforts could benefit most from health sector partners’ contributions and what (education or other) policy and investment changes could contribute to co-benefits for health and education
- Highlighting state and local examples of successful collaboration between the health and education sectors
