Allison Kilcoyne, a Family Nurse Practitioner, spent most of her 15 year career working in and advocating for School Based Health.
Most recently she implemented an SBHC in Peabody Veterans Memorial High School in Peabody, Massachusetts. She was a primary care provider that led an interdisciplinary medical and behavioral health care team at a high school SBHC in nearby Lynn, Massachusetts. Allison has presented at the Alliance’s national conference on psychopharmacology in SBHC, mental health programmatic evaluations and engaging undocumented minors into the health care system. In her clinical practice she was able to engage youth into the health care system and see first-hand the impact of SBHCs on youth development. Previously she had served as the school nurse leader for the City of Peabody. A graduate of University of Pennsylvania and Northeastern University, she is a long time preceptor of nurse practitioner students; guest lectures in nearby graduate schools of nursing, has participated in funded SBHC research projects and has co-authored articles and book chapters on adolescence and school health.
Jordan is a pediatric nurse practitioner and program director for the Chelsea High School School-Based Health Center, a satellite clinic of Massachusetts General Hospital, where she provides primary care for the students.
Jordan knew that she wanted to combine her love of health education and counseling with a more clinical aspect, so she pursued a master’s degree in nursing from Yale University and became a certified pediatric nurse practitioner. She stayed in New Haven for two years to run a school-based health center there, and took the job at Chelsea High School in 2000. She loves working with the Chelsea population, which includes many students who come from lower-income families that have recently arrived from Central America.
Jordan is a strong advocate for school-based health care, and is an active volunteer for Williams College, currently serving as the President of the Williams College Society of Alumni.
