How to Get Involved

Score 1 for Health provides free, in-school screenings, preventative health education and resources for treatment. We focus on reaching children in the areas of greatest need, including urban-core, underprivileged and low income families. There are many ways you can get involved, whether you are a parent, school administrator, healthcare professional, or an individual or business that wants to make a positive impact on the health of our Kansas City kids.

HEALTHCARE PARTNERS: Healing a Community

Our healthcare partners are university and college students that come from more than 20 allied health schools and multiple health sciences. Future physicians, dentists, nurses, occupational therapists, speech/language pathologists and medical assistants are all given an opportunity to have clinical experience in pediatric health assessment.

KCUMB utilizes its first and second year medical students to conduct the health screenings, so that students can gain valuable clinical experience, while providing this important community service.

Typically, health science university/college students participate at local schools on screening days. Click here to see maps and directions to schools in your area. Each volunteer is assigned a position at one of the six health screening stations. An in-service training is provided prior to screening day.
