Federal Long-Term Recovery and Resilience Plan Development: Mid-Course Update

Federal Plan

Currently, more than 25 federal agencies actively participate in the Interagency Workgroup developing the Long Term Recovery and Resilience plan. The plan purpose is to align federal actions, outlining strategies to improve vital conditions, support community and individual recovery from the impacts of COVID-19, and positively impact health and well-being over the next ten years and beyond. The strategies aim to identify interdependencies, increase coordination, and remove barriers to foster long-term contributions toward community resilience. The initial recommendations identify specific actions that can inform strategies.

Office of the Surgeon General: Community Health & Economic Prosperity

In order to improve the health of Americans and help foster a more sustainable and equitable prosperity, the Office of the Surgeon General is implementing an initiative called Community Health and Economic Prosperity (CHEP).

The Vital Conditions and WIN Measures are fully integrated into the report, with members and organizations in the WIN Network as contributing authors.

Businesses as Stewards for Thriving Together

The health of Americans is not as good as it could be, despite large expenditures on healthcare. Our poorer health status creates costs and challenges for individuals, families, communities, and businesses, and can be a drag on the economy, as too many jobs remain unfilled and productivity is adversely affected. Many of our poor health problems are rooted in inadequate investments in prevention and unequal economic opportunities in our communities. CHEP affirms our need for;

  • Engaging businesses to be community change-makers and forces for health in their communities
  • Implementing solutions to help improve and sustain the health of communities, such as comprehensive smoke-free policies and affordable housing
  • Strengthening communities to be places of opportunity for health and prosperity for all

CHEP joins other efforts in communities and across the nation, all striving to improve health and increase opportunity for all. What ties these together, in addition to a focus on health and economic opportunity, is a recognition that health happens in communities and is tied to conditions in communities, such as the quality and availability of housing, education, and jobs. What sets CHEP apart is the focus on businesses and the private sector as critical agents of change to improve the conditions in communities and improve their own bottom lines.
