Student Health Case Study
The Challenge
Many school-aged and high school students face significant barriers to accessing essential healthcare services, including dental treatment, sports medical physicals, and preventive care. These gaps can lead to poor health outcomes, affecting students’ academic performance and long-term well-being. The Student Health Impact Project aimed to bridge these gaps by providing critical health services directly to students and their families.
Our Approach
Cornerstone spearheaded a comprehensive health campaign targeted at improving student health and wellness in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Our strategy focused on delivering healthcare services where they were needed most—within schools—and empowering families to take control of their health. Key components of the project included:
School-Based Health Centers: We advertised and promoted a school-based health center, offering dental screenings, physical exams, and education on healthy habits. This approach provided students with convenient, on-site care, helping to identify and address health concerns early.
Promoting Health and Dental Screenings: Working closely with schools, we organized health and dental screenings, ensuring that students had access to preventive care. These screenings helped catch issues such as untreated cavities or physical health risks before they became more serious.
Managed Care Organization (MCO) Membership Activation: Cornerstone also facilitated insurance enrollment by working with eligible parents to sign them up for interviews with managed care organizations. This effort helped ensure that families had access to the care and coverage they needed.
The Impact
Through the Student Health Impact Project, we successfully closed care gaps by providing convenient access to essential health services for students in PA and NJ. Hundreds of students received health and dental screenings, physical exams, and guidance on adopting healthier habits. Additionally, by activating MCO memberships, we empowered families to gain the healthcare coverage they needed to support their children's well-being.
