Nebraska Child & School Health Data
A quick reference guide of state and local data reports to better understand and serve Nebraska children.
This guide is brought to you by Nebraska TEAMS, a collaboration of the Nebraska Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Children’s Nebraska, DHHS, and NDE dedicated to improving the health and mental health of children in school.
Infectious Diseases Prevention Handbook for Schools Now Available.
In Nebraska, we are highly aware of disparities between rural and urban areas. Persons living in rural areas have less access to healthcare, have lower rates of vaccination, and have a more difficult time to access many experts and resources to support school health than their urban counterparts may.
The funding for this book was provided through a grant the Nebraska Chapter AAP received through the American Academy of Pediatrics Managing Infectious Diseases in Schools Chapter Innovation Grant. This grant provided funding for compilation, printing and distribution of this handbook to rural schools with the intent of reducing rural health disparities.

Medicaid Coverage Resources
Families who are no longer eligible for Medicaid may still be eligible for other types of free or low-cost coverage.
Nebraska DHHS: Preparing to Renew Medicaid Coverage
ACCESSNebraska : The Department of Health and Human Services administers and manages eligibility for Medicaid and Economic Assistance programs through ACCESSNebraska.
How Pediatricians Can Help Children Stay Covered
From AAP President Sandy Chung, MD, FAAP:
“…A change is coming to Medicaid coverage: a policy that kept millions of children continuously enrolled in Medicaid during the COVID-19 public health emergency will end on March 31.
What can you do?
Families who are no longer eligible for Medicaid may lose their coverage, but they may still be eligible for other types of free or low-cost coverage. This process of redetermining the eligibility of everyone enrolled in Medicaid is being called the “unwinding.”
When is this change actually happening?
Over the next 14 months, states must check whether every person currently enrolled in Medicaid is still eligible, then either renew or terminate that person’s coverage. Every state decides their own timeline for eligibility redeterminations; while some will come now, others won’t get them for months. April 1 is the first day that states may begin disenrolling individuals who are no longer eligible for Medicaid. At least five states are already sending renewal applications, and more states will begin sending notices and renewal applications in April and May. I hope these resources help you prepare.”
