Added funding to bring more nurses and improved wellness to Buffalo Public Schools
The CHW Network of Buffalo continues to advocate for healthier schools as an important public health strategy. Today, CHWNB executive director Jessica Bauer Walker joined Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes in a press conference to announce an additional $1.2 for school nurses and other school-based health efforts: “If we have healthier schools and healthier students, healthier communities, we’re not only going to see better health indicators, we’re going to see better academic outputs as well,” said Bauer Walker.
