Roy Charles Brooks, Commissioner, Tarrant County, Texas, and NACo President; and Amy Aparicio Clark, Managing Director of Community Impact and Strategy at the Aetna Foundation; for a special briefing on the Healthiest Communities Rankings, a brand new analytic platform developed by U.S. News in collaboration with the Aetna Foundation.

Presenters will provide an in-depth look at the rankings, speak about their impact, and share information about related funding opportunities.
