COVID-19 Early Care and Education Collaborative
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic response the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) provided support to establish the COVID-19 Early Care and Education (ECE) Collaborative. Collaborative members worked to identify needs and gaps during the early stages of the COVID-19 response and created tools for engagement and relationship building between ECE facilities and health departments to be carried on in a post-pandemic environment. This project serves as an example of how collaborative partnerships, utilizing Health in All Policies principles, can be rapidly established and implemented in real time to holistically address public health challenges and protect children's health.
