NACo’s Healthy Counties Initiative aims to enhance public/private partnerships in local health delivery, improve individual and community health, and assist counties to effectively implement federal health reform.

The County Health Rankings show us where we live matters to our health and provides counties with an annual check-up of their health. The Rankings provide local-level data that shows how people from one county to another rank on a range of factors that determine health to ensure that every community is a healthy place to live, learn, work and play.

The Stepping Up Initiative, a joint intiative between NACo, the Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center and the American Psychiatric Association Foundation, helps advance counties’ efforts to reduce the number of adults with mental and co-occurring substance use disorders in jails.
