As a result of the grim economic climate and devastating budget cuts to SBHCs and their sponsoring institutions, 15 SBHCs were forced to close their doors this year. Nearly 5,000 children and youth have been impacted by the loss of these centers. The total number of New York State SBHCs is now at 215 sites. The need for advocacy for SBHCs statewide has never been greater!
