Bounce Forward

"Bounce forward" into a better world by using these resources to create healthier, more resilient communities.

As America looks to recover from the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, state and territorial leaders can either approach recovery efforts as a way to reconstruct our communities the way they were prior to COVID-19, or "bounce forward" into a better world by advancing efforts to create healthier, more resilient communities.

To support the recovery effort, ASTHO created a suite of resources that provide a straightforward method for state and territorial leaders to identify current recovery resources across a variety of sectors, consider and coalesce around achievable opportunities for health improvement in their jurisdictions, and commit to engaging community leaders in policy-making and implementation decisions. Learn more about how to Bounce Forward into a healthier future.
