New for Head Starts: Single Resource for Helping Achieve Mandated Performance Standards

HANOVER PARK, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
School Health Corporation, one of the oldest medical supply companies focused on
the elementary school market, recently launched a single source publication for
Head Starts and early childhood programs at the recent National Head Start
Association (NHSA) Conference in Orlando, Fla., and the National Louis
Leadership Connection Conference, which was held in Wheeling, Ill.

The Early Childhood Health & Wellness Catalog is specifically designed to help
early childhood programs achieve the national Performance Standards established
by the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services. The Early Childhood Health &
Wellness Catalog offers medical products and early care screening/assessment
tools in one resource that can help fulfill mandated requirements.

"This catalog could not have been accomplished without the help and guidance of
some the leading early childhood specialists in the industry," said Susan
Rogers, President of School Health Corporation (schoolhealth.com). "We are
honored that they have dedicated their time and guidance to serve on our
advisory board and to help us develop one of the most innovative resources for
the early childhood market available today."

The Early Childhood Health & Wellness Catalog is just one component in a series
of initiatives School Health plans to implement for the early childhood market.
For more than 50 years, School Health has demonstrated its commitment to the
elementary school nurse market through consultation, education and participation
at conferences. School Health plans to do the same type of commitment for early
childhood. The company is developing an e-commerce site that will also include
best practice stories, e-learning programs that early childhood experts can
access 24/7 and an e-newsletter.

School Health Corporation (schoolhealth.com) is one of the leading suppliers of
medical supplies and equipment to school nurses and other specialty healthcare
professionals. More than 60,000 schools count on School Health for their medical
supply needs. The company offers one-stop shopping for more than 7,000 products.

The NHSA is a private not-for-profit membership organization. It represents more
than 1 million children, 200,000 staff and 2,600 Head Start programs in the
United States.

community engagement and service excellence.
