About
The partnership between Codman Square Health Center (CSHC) and Codman Academy Charter Public School (CACPS), is the first co-located health and education partnership in the country. The rationale behind this partnership is simple yet powerful: healthier people learn better, and people with greater access to education are healthier.
The vision of this Partnership is to create strategies to mitigate the effects of poverty and create rich and innovative “communities of health” in which individuals and families benefit physically, economically, socially, intellectually, and behaviorally. We believe in the power of community-based collaboration to improve health outcomes and increase educational attainment of Codman students to empower this next generation with the ability to live healthy, productive lives.
The Unique Benefits of Our Partnership
“You cannot educate a child who is not
healthy, and you cannot keep a child
healthy who is not educated.”
