Short Description
The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) administers the School Health Program which monitors the certified school health centers operating in Illinois for compliance with Title 77, Chapter I, Subchapter i, Part 641 School-Based/Linked Health Centers. The Certified Center New Awardee Expansion Program (CCNAE-22) seeks to expand the School Based Health Center (SHC) Grant Program by supporting existing Illinois certified school health centers that are not current grantees of the SHC Program. Similar to the SHC program, CCNAE will improve the overall physical and emotional health of school age children and youth by promoting healthy lifestyles and by providing accessible preventive health care. Through early detection and treatment of chronic and acute health problems, identification of risk-taking behaviors and appropriate anticipatory guidance, treatment and referral, SHCs assure students are healthy and ready to learn.

Objective
The Certified Center New Awardee Expansion Program seeks to provide additional services or outreach to clients that would have not otherwise been offered with the current center capabilities. More specifically, IDPH funds should not be used to supplement funds the SHC is currently able to secure and have been historically utilizing to provide existing services. The CCNAE-23 provides funding for centers that are currently not funded through the IDPH School Health Grant to enhance services, add additional services, or expand the number of community/school clients.
