their child's healthy growth and development.

The HEALTH
Program (Helping
Everyone Achieve
Long Term Health)
provides comprehensive and integrated
health services in collaboration with
community resources for the children,
families, and team members at Jack & Jill
Center. This program was designed using the
CDC's Whole School, Whole Community,
Whole Child (WSCC) Model. Through
comprehensive assessments, provision of
health services, preventative healthcare, and
community partnerships, this program has a
significant positive impact on students,
families, and team members, especially in
regards to providing information and on-site
care. Best-loved, this program features two
therapy dogs named Fenway and Quinzy
who work directly with children to provide
support and relieve stress with measurable
beneficial outcomes including improved test
scores and school attendance.
