Partnership for Healthier Kids
Who we are
Partnership for Healthier Kids (PHK) is one of several community health-improvement initiatives of the Community Health Division of Inova Health System. PHK has two main school-based programs: an Access to Care program and a Prevention program.
The Access to Care program is designed to identify uninsured children and connect them to an appropriate and affordable source of quality healthcare services.
The Prevention program objectives are to provide a variety of health education programs designed to increase the knowledge and improve skills to make healthy choices in the areas of nutrition and physical activity.
Working in collaboration with Alexandria, Fairfax and Loudoun Public schools, PHK Access to Care program has successfully connected more than 35,000 children to a source of healthcare services since 1998. More than 90,000 children, parents and educators have participated in PHK Prevention activities since 1997.
PHK believes that every child deserves to attend school, healthy and ready to learn.
