This pamphlet summarizes the papers, comments, discussion, and key points of consensus from the national health symposium. The document makes a case for stronger links between health and education, arguing that children must be healthy to be educated and must be educated in order to be healthy. Six key points of agreement evolving from the symposium are discussed: (1) health affects education; (2) education affects health; (3) technological advances are not enough; (4) families have a critical role; (5) "at risk" does not mean "doomed"; and (6) system changes are needed. An agenda of "next steps" is presented, focusing on: developing plans for linking health with education on the federal, state, and local levels; developing strategies to better integrate health and education policies and programs on the federal, state, and local levels; and building a national will to more effectively integrate health and education services provided to children. The pamphlet concludes with a copy of the symposium program, a list of symposium participants, and brief descriptions of the National Commission to Prevent Infant Mortality and the Institute for Educational Leadership.
