Why Partner?

Health-risk behaviors are on the rise in youth across America. Youth face a number of challenges ranging from childhood obesity to tobacco, alcohol and other drug use.

In school districts across the United States, K-12 health education is an unfunded or under-funded mandate. School budget cuts and reallocations have resulted in a drastic reduction in the amount of resources allocated to health education.

If addressed early in life, students will have the knowledge and skills to pursue healthy lifestyles. Giving the resource of health education will give them the knowledge and skills to make healthier decisions that will continue through adulthood.

To make a daily impact in the lives of children, community leaders have to go where they are – in schools. Partnering with schools to provide a sustainable health education program has many advantages. Often school districts are one of largest employers in any community. By engaging with teachers, administrators and support staff you have the opportunity to communicate your support of their schools and the children they serve, building advocates for your mission.

Community Benefit

HealthTeacher meets the requirements of community benefit by being reported under Part 1, Charity Care and Certain Other Community Benefits at Cost, on Schedule H (Form 990).

More specifically, Worksheet 4 requires reporting for activities and programs like HealthTeacher. Those activities, listed as community health improvement services and community benefit operations, are “carried out or supported for the purpose of improving community health” and are “activities associated with community health needs assessments as well as community benefit planning and administration.”

By establishing a collaborative partnership with schools that addresses children’s health, HealthTeacher is reportable as community health education as a community benefit operation.

To learn more about how a sustainable children’s health education partnership with schools can help you meet the revised community benefit reporting requirements, download our community benefit whitepaper.
