Many children in the Kansas City area do not receive the healthcare they need or deserve. That's where Score 1 for Health comes in. We focus on reaching children in greatest need by administering free, comprehensive health screenings in an environment that's safe and easy: the child's own school. Our goal is to ensure that Kansas City's elementary children have the ability to succeed early in life, not limited by undiscovered health problems.
