Mission Statement
The Lehigh County School Nurses Advisory Board is dedicated to serving and leading its
constituent school districts to obtain the highest level of health and wellness among its
students and employees. Guided by current research, best practice guidelines, and the
Pennsylvania Professional Nursing Law, we will collaborate to prepare students and staff
for lifelong health through education, professional advisement, and planned resource
utilization.
School nurse representatives meet regularly to:
1. Assess, plan, implement and evaluate continuing education opportunities for
school nurses in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas.
2. Research common concerns and share gathered information with nurse
colleagues.
3. Serve as a vehicle to share school nurse concerns with district superintendents and
administrators.
4. Explore grants/funding for programs to benefit student/employee health and/or
wellness.
5. Facilitate sharing of ideas and strategies to improve school health services.
6. Serve as advisory board to constituent school districts on health-related issues.
