Healthiest Cities & Counties Challenge
We believe a healthy city/county is economically competitive, inclusive and equitable. That's why we're calling on cities and counties across the country
to join the Healthiest Cities & Counties Challenge. The Challenge is a partnership between the Aetna Foundation, the American Public Health Association
and the National Association of Counties and administered by CEOs For Cities. The partnership empowers small to mid-size U.S. cities and counties to
create a positive health impact.
We're awarding more than $1.5 million in prizes to cities, counties and federally recognized tribes most able to show measurable changes in health and
wellness over the next several years.
Healthy Cities and Counties:
- Promote healthy behaviors.
- Focus on community safety.
- Provide abundant space where people can work, live and play.
- Enable people to have enjoyable social experiences, and ample work.
- Are clear of pollutants and provide communities with access to healthy food and clean water.
READY TO CREATE A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY?
STEP 1: Identify a lead entity to submit an application.
STEP 2: Submit an application by May 31, 2016.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Finalists will be announced on August 1, 2016.
