Edison Site Coordinator Takes on Health Clinic Responsibilities

This year, KCIS Site Coordinator Deb Yarbrough moved from Milwood Elementary to the Edison Environmental Science Academy.  She now spends an additional five hours per week doing outreach for the Edison School-Based Health Center (ESBHC).  Her outreach work has three goals - to increase enrollment at the Center, to increase the number of students using the Center who are already enrolled, and to increase Medicaid enrollments.  Deb is working closely with the ESBHC staff and the Edison school team to make sure that all students have access to health care.
