With national vaccine policy under review, we hope the US prioritizes a strong commitment to science-driven, evidence-based decision making.

Congratulations to Angie Vega, our Director of Healthy & Ready to Learn, who was part of Building Power in Education and Health: Strengthening School-Connected Health Interventions Panel. She was selected to speak about our program and the work we do to bridge the education and health sectors!

42 million Americans, including children and families, could lose vital #SNAP food benefits by Nov. 1 if the government #shutdown continues. No one should have to go hungry. We hope Congress acts swiftly to end the shutdown and protect access to food assistance so children and families can thrive.
