A resolution to declare February 22-28, 2026, as School-Based Health Care Awareness Week in the state of Michigan.
Summary
House Resolution 250 is a commemorative resolution that designates February 22-28, 2026, as School-Based Health Care Awareness Week in Michigan. The resolution highlights the role of Michigan’s Child and Adolescent Health Centers, also known as School-Based Health Centers, in providing primary care, mental health care, prevention, and early intervention services to children and youth across the state.
The resolution emphasizes that these centers have operated for more than 30 years and now serve students in urban, rural, and suburban schools through more than 300 programs and centers. It cites claimed benefits such as improved attendance, better standardized test scores, reduced absenteeism due to illness, and higher immunization rates, and it recognizes the work of center staff and parents or guardians in supporting student health and well-being.
Impact
HR 250 does not amend or create statutory law, appropriate funds, or impose regulatory requirements. Its legal effect is limited to an official House declaration recognizing a week of awareness for school-based health care and publicly affirming support for Child and Adolescent Health Centers and related services in Michigan.
Sentiment
The available text suggests broadly positive and supportive sentiment toward the resolution. The bill is framed as a recognition of the value of school-based health services, and the listed sponsors indicate bipartisan or cross-faction support. No votes or committee transcripts were provided, and there is no evidence in the record of opposition or controversy.
Contention
No specific points of contention are identified in the bill text or available legislative history. Because the resolution is honorary and nonbinding, there is little apparent basis for disagreement in the materials provided. Any debate would likely center on the broader role of school-based health centers, including the scope of services they provide, but no such objections are documented here.
