Join Us

Let’s start a movement to support local communities in defining, designing, and creating their own healthy futures—one where working with communities is the goal and listening to how communities define their needs is the norm.

Improving community health requires coordination across all sectors, beyond just public health and healthcare. We must work together collectively to achieve the vision of the ASTHO Challenge to build healthy and resilient communities.
